[QUOTE="Ballina1, post: 436676, member: 7146"] Ballina1 and Skyhawker have just returned from Tibooburra. Awesome place. So much ground covered with white quartz pebbles it looks like it just hailed there. Dry as a bone. Got on to some gold in the last few days of our trip after wasting 5 days at Evans Gully for zip. Locals told me that the best time to go is when it has rained and starts to cool down during the day. So, Autumn after heavy rain to expose more gold. Locals won't really tell you (exactly) where to go so you have to try different places until you hit a patch. Found 2 small patches on the last 2 days but once cleaned out there was no more to be found (until after it rains again). Also found a few bits in another spot thanks to guidance from Brett. Spent the week with Skyhawker, his lovely partner, his dad and 2 friends. Great company! Spent the last day in a spot on the common with Ray and Gina, fellow members of Prospectors Home Club, Parramatta, who were also great company. Only got 17 bits this trip but I'm looking forward to going back. steve01 lost your number so not able to call. [/QUOTE]
