[QUOTE="Ballina1, post: 415373, member: 7146"] Hi All I have been in Ballina for a few years and have been missing access to Central West NSW which I frequented when I lived in Sydney. While I know a lot about the Central West area (Sofala, Hill End, Windeyer, Hargraves, Gulgong, Oberon, Stuart Town) I would say my gold success is been "developing". I like crevassing as crevices sometimes offer a nice surprise. Have used Minelab Eureka Gold but have now bought an SDC2300. Sadly, I live too far away from chunky gold to do day trips. Nundle is a favourite but is 6 hours away. Spent some time around Drake and was successful finding two flakes in 3 visits. Hmmm. I am yet to develop local knowledge. I camp solo with a swag but when accompanied by Mrs we use our Kimberley Kamper. Apart from Nundle we have travelled to Darwin via Central QLD, and back via Red Centre, Oodnadatta Track, Flinders Ranges as well as Mudgee area (Hill End mostly) and a few trips to Nundle. Approached Lismore Gem Club at the their recent Gemfest but did not get a sense of any interesting in gold from those I chatted with. I am keen to go to Tibooburra but not alone. I posted that I would like to see who in Northern Rivers area would like to start a bit of a club so we could go places camping and golding. No interest from locals so far. Still interested in doing this. Please let me know if there are any groups around Northern Rivers that have an interest in gold fossicking or detecting or if you are interested. [/QUOTE]
