yeah m8 someting like that will be selling them for $50 a coppy to cover some printing costs and fuel costs but well worth it in the end i reckon

i called them lost as there is little or no history about them or any maps of them some ant even on geo vic

Good luck with that, should be an interesting/entertaining read based on some of your posts/photos.
Actually went to a book launch in Stawell on Sunday ..... Gold Mines of Stawell, a pictorial history written by Greg Cameron, interesting history and photos. $30 from Stawell Historical Society if anyone wants one (sure they won't mind a couple of images being shown to help promote it ... ).
Cheers T.

Well done, that's great news, hope it works out well for you.

yeah will be a lot this one example images maps but the 2 things different will be that my book is of a different area in vic and will have mine maps underground mine workings

 

[Teemore]

Hi HTY,
The Stawell book has heaps of maps and photos of underground workings/layouts, many I believe now "out of bounds" as, and I could be wrong, they're under the control of the current Stawell Gold Mines operators. They also contributed, via a 'community grant scheme' to assist in getting it published and keeping the cost down ..... may be an option for you ????
Look forward to seeing your finished product.
Cheers T,

Sounds like a great research tool HTY and good work mate.

May your pockets fill with Au in reward for your effort.

Regards

looking forward to your book mate that will record a lot of stuff before it is lost to time.... you are spending a lot of time in those old mines.. please be ridiculously careful in those old holes full of rotten timbers ect.. old saying.. swim with the sharks and sooner or later you will get bit.. and you are pushing the limits being down in more mines than then anybody else... But you are doing a great job and what do I know.. goodluck be with you.
