    Drone flight over the Turon river, Green point camping area, Sofala.

    We camped at Green Point over Easter. I managed to find a little bit of gold hidden under the bedrock. I speed up the flight so as not to bore you. I guess you could pause to examine the area. The drone I used is the dji spark and editing with my iPad mini. I only uploaded in 720p from the...

    Mogo

    We encountered a couple of snakes at currowong camp grounds a couple of months ago. This adder was angry and chacing a family around the ute. It was at least a meter long. It wasnt fast moving but circling around the Ute chacing them. They had called for help as we were camping nearby. Hopefully...

It should be no older than 150 million years, however that leaves a lot of time to research. I am not a historian or a geologist unfortunately. Woah to...
