The explosives shed at Cue..wonder what happened?

Another angle.

Old car covering a vertical shaft at 'The Island' at 'Lake Austin'.

Ruins of old miners huts at 'The Island' made from local ironstone... tough old buggers.

More dwellings.

Broken down in the goldfields.

It must be great to out so far and see all the pioneering memorabilia. I don't suppose you took the detector out for a sniff, that's if you're allowed to.

I believe that a grandstand was built at 'The Island' in the heyday so that the townspeople could witness the huge gold coming out of the claim.
The tenements around the explosive shed and the island are active right now ...I am keeping watch. :drooling: :drooling: :drooling:

When i did have the opportunity to detect both spots i rarely went home empty handed.

Went to Nelson Via Port Fairy last weekend. Last time I was in Nelson was about 1976 and you had to walk over the dunes to get to the beach. Now there is a nice path there. I did not swim in the ocean beach as there are no lifeguards. I remember all those years ago staying on a site for 10 days on the Glenelg river and swimming in that ocean every day. Freaking hell...the things you do as a kid.
I went up to my knees this time :lol: :lol:
Put one foot over the border as well..

I used to work there too, not much scenery, but plenty of flies hahaha.
Hope you didn't take the test rocket back to site, or throw rocks at it to see if it's still live :lol:

That must have been a while back, the open cut is finished now, all underground waste goes back in the pit.
A lot of the dongas are gone too, they've gone to Carrapatina mine.

A mate who owns property near Glen Innes got one of his Maltese taken by an Eagle... So after finding Her Body, he cut down the Eagles tree .... :skull:

Never seen the Eagle again...

Grateful to be out of the wind after a week of it, it was relentless and nearly drove me mad, I reckon I was shouting back at it at one stage. At William Creek. No one there and the caretaker let me camp wherever I wanted to. This was in the smallest kitchen.
