[QUOTE="boobook, post: 622327, member: 1605"] Lived and worked in the Coffs area in the 1960's. Made friends with a Bert MacAnally who had brothers working a mine somewhere NW of Coramba. Between fishing trips we spent quite a bit of time panning the gullies around there, always coming home with enough to encourage us back later for more. But there are two critters out in those gullies, not mentioned so far here, but can and will give you a hard time. Leeches and ticks. Ticks drop out of the scrub and crawl down your back before attacking and leeches, which whilst in the creek, are also hanging off leaves in the scrub with their "heat seekers" on just waiting for you to pass close by. Had some very bad experiences with them [/QUOTE]
