    LPG Bronze brazing and silver soldering torch

    I have been out of it for more than 10 years. We used to have 10 or more bottles in the factory . One got lost or miss counted , CIG wanted $1,000 for replacing that bottle at that time . They did not get the money . More care was taken on counting them in and out .

I think they were telling me that they were well armed . This was before Howard's clamp down on hi powered automatic rifles .

    Missing Prospectors & Other Persons Victoria

    It is a big shame that you can no longer go in the bush with out the fear of being attacked or your camp robbed whilst you are 100 mts. away prospecting . Put every thing away and lock every thing up before going out prospecting . Add more security , cameras etc . My late brother ran a big...
