[QUOTE="loamer, post: 140794, member: 981"] As some of you may be aware, the history of the SA - Vic Gold Escort route fascinates me. I now also have LJ Blakes 'Gold Escort'. Alexander Tolmer, the leader, was my sort of bloke. "an impulsive and quick-tempered man who made powerful enemies". Be great to have a few frothies with him. Myself and the new Mrs Loamer went bush walking and climbing up around Mt Arapiles (near Horsham Vic), which was on one of the gold escort routes. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/981/1426290891_capture1.png[/img] the camping facilities are fine and there is always Horsham for more substantial accommodation and plenty of services there. [url]http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/mount-arapiles-tooan-state-park[/url] Beautiful and amazing bit of Australia - Mt Arapiles and the Mitre rock just 'appear' on an otherwise pretty flat bit of country. This is not gold country I might add, but if you are interested in the Gold escort route, into some harder bush walking and climbing from basic to advanced - well worth a look. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/981/1426291111_capture2.png[/img] From the Cornish history of Vic site - this is probably the best guide I have seen, and its free.
