Thanks that looks better than I had in my mind. I had visions of a little area next to a bridge like a troll home lol.

very nice people in that part of Australia I have camped there and never had trouble all the locals will help you not hurt you it is not the city people wave when you drive past and locals love a chat good way to find out the good spots in the river no one knows the place like the locals do

Regards All,
Despite the fact they may not be aggressive the black snakes at Grabben Gullen this time of year are plentiful and seem to be attracted to fossickers. I would take care with kids and pets fossicking there over next couple months!

Ha ha ha the leaches at gg are pretty big, and probably more aggressive than the snakes

 

[richo966]

have you seen the leeches at gg mate snakes are scared of them

 

[fossickeract]

Definitely Snakes the leaches were absent in the running water. This 2m black tried to join us by swimming to us across the creek 3 times only discouraged by much splashing, resigned to sunning itself nearby. yes it had a rabbit size bump breakfast no doubt.

 

[Greglz86]

Shhhhhhh. Cmon guys. Dont mention leaches. The missus can handle the idea of snakes but if she finds out there's leaches she wont go back :8

 

[richo966]

I forget which one is the blood sucker the leache or the wife don't tell my wife I said this :8

To be honest it would hard to find a spot in GG Ck where there aren't Sapphires.

 

[richo966]

very true mate it is the place for duffers that is why I like it so much I don't often come home empty handed just not the big ones they must hide when they hear me coming :lol: :8 8.( :|

 

[Heatho]

Nah it's a top spot just need a bit of luck for the bigger ones mate. I got 6 tiny chips for 3 days at Black Spring though I put a lot less effort than usual, just enjoying the camping. Was pretty warm too, not used to it yet this season.

 

[k man]

If I spotted those snakes I would have shit my pants and hot fitted it back to the car and out of there.there's only 2 kind of snakes I don't like,the slithering type and the 2 legged types.both types need a crack over the head with a long stick

 

[Varts]

The big sapphires lie beneath the bigg red bellied black snakes ,no one searches there
Ones to watch are the taipans ,really seen ,could be behind that next tuf ograss ...
