Hi Jasonc2861. You still on touch with Jack Bray's grandson? Jack's wife Eva Bray nee Heath his grandmother was my grandfather's cousin. Would love to be in touch. I met Eva once when in a nursing home.
I've worked for many gold mine's in WA but never seen much more than small flattened nuggets in mills.

My claim to fame is Slim Dusty sang a song about me. Something about being the biggest disappointment in the family.
