Well its been a while since I have been out for a dig and it finally got the better of me.
I have been out of work for a while and to spend time during that period was the reno on the house which eventually got the better of me and I decided I needed to get of the house so to speak.
On the flip side I did get to have 2 job interviews yesterday, so fingers crossed.
I decided on a 3 night trip with the boys and just to get the youngest fellow away from any type of electronic gizmo is an adventure all in it's own.
Finally got away about midday, but was a bit worried about the wild rain we encountered on the way up thru Cunninghams Gap and thru Warwick.
We kept on going and the further away from Warwick the finer the weather. For the time we had there the weather was perfect for camping.
Camp fire, Marshmellows and a creek to swim in, cant get any better than that.... well not to forget the gold in the pan.
Plenty of Wildlife around also with wallabies bounding thru the camp, also plenty of reptiles and bird life.
Perfect campsite, we had the place to ourselves.
Bacon and Eggs for a heart starter on day one.
Zach crevicing.
First lot to come to light, not much but gold is gold and its in the bag.
Not a good look but taking it easy back at camp panning out the cons.
After a day of getting dirty one or two of these was on order.
Chillin' out at the El Rancho Relaxo.
Day 2 getting into it. A lot of digging then carting the material down to the dam for washing.
Young Alex got some nice little specks in his pan.. straight into the bottle dad..Thanks.
A little bit more of the hard earned yellow.
A local Kooka.
Nice looking Goanna.
Apostle birds everywhere.
We had a blast as usual and the young fella praised himself for not playing hardly any games at all.
Plenty to do around camp and the boys really enjoyed it.
I still have 12 more bkts of dirt to run yet so hopefully it will be some more shots of yellow added to this post.
Cheers
