[QUOTE="boobook, post: 538087, member: 1605"] Chris, probably Clear creek, close to the Sofala road, I think Winburndale a little further West. Its a while back (1970's) when things were a little more free and easy. Sorry to hear about your experience Greenhorn, in those days there were 12 pubs in Bathurst and I could usually be (temporarily!) barred from at least one of them! That's about the worst thing that happened to me in any of the pubs, lived there for near 20 years. Never picked up a bait, but did avoid counter meals in some of them! Had a look at my old place on Google earth. Was built in 1843 and still looks pretty good. I liked the history of the area which got me back into chasing gold. A long sluice at Trunkey Creek and dredging on the Turon/Maquarie with a bit of panning here and there. We sold gold to a buyer in Granville who from just a glance at the gold could tell exactly which creek system it originated. Good times were had :cool: [/QUOTE]
