[QUOTE="rod, post: 104460, member: 2474"] Hi kawman mate, more heads and more exploring up there is definately a good thing, so info and ideas exchange would benefit us all. Mudhut road is a nice way to get up to the bowman area too, we are going to check a few spots up there for gold in the far side state forest section with a line of mines showing the gold trend there up on the mountain. Borneal creek had alluvial gold but access to the creek looks tough and it has a lease on half the state forest block there. Went up recently and had been alot of burning off up there, looks alot different on the drive through cobark ect now. Collected some lovely basalt samples from the road cut featured in lin Sutherlands book, on the way up the mountain that shows a great cross section of an early basalt flow down the mountain, with a later flow on top of it. The top flow is Columnar jointed basalt flow and the bottom is a block vesicular flow and honestly just being there one can picture how the platau was built up, although its a dangerous spot as rock slides happen abit there. Found some interesting things in the bottom basalt flow that may warrent poking around there abit more. rod [/QUOTE]
