[QUOTE="dezman, post: 89727, member: 1018"] Well I'm here and it's not dusty as 10mm fell the other day, but give it a week and I'll be picking my nose :| I picked up the paperwork and mud map to get myself into the right mind set, they are helpful in the mines dept. I have to wait three weeks for the next safety course, which means I can't really dig. But I can survey the claim etc. but I guess the mines guy would come pass at sometime keeping an eye on things and cut short any work I could be doing. I must commit myself on Monday with the course and then there is no going back! I'm yet to walk the field and chat with the other claim holders, check to see if my ladders are still there. I'm in two minds as I know how much work is involved. It's nothing like a little dig around for gold or sapphires, and I do miss digging at sapphire bend and nundle as it's easy camping and enjoyable work. Here a fortune can be found and lost too, the winter here is beautiful and I'm a little late this year. However if I do setup a claim then next year would be easy in coming out. What would be a great idea is a ProspectingAustralia campsite and compound to leave our gear in! Somewhere that acts like a base to work from, but if only it was half the distance from Sydney, hmmm.
