[QUOTE="karu, post: 118760, member: 3934"] Aftenoon guys. Had a bit of a hit out at/near waterwheel a few months ago. Nothing exciting there. Even in midwinter this area is vary dry. No yellow, but lots of historical interest. About 5km's NE of there are some quite deep, narrow trenches - up to 30m deep. 10m wide & 1k long. 4wd track to get there. A few cars visible at bottom of trench. Ran out of time to explore. Creeks S of Pirenees Hwy between Castle Hill and Castlemaine are quite productive, but you have to work hard. Only 5 -10 colours per bucket- most pinpoint size and quite weathered (thin). Not much water, just a few scattered pools. I persevere due to proximity to home - convenient for travel with very limited time availability and the fact I never go home without at least a few specs. Just enough to keep me coming back. Still - over 6 months, still not enough to get the new MXT7000. [/QUOTE]
