[QUOTE="Parko, post: 205928, member: 6076"] Great posts. Looks a lot like where I live. I'll take the DSLR with me next time I go a-wandering in the bush and grab a few happy snaps of the goings on from the rush/mining days as a lot of it is in plain sight still. A heads up about the 'poor man's gold field' thing too. It would often refer to the money needed up front to make a 'wage' out of a claim. That is, not much, and and individual or small party could walk away from a claim with 'a pile'.
