Thanks for the concern Dave,
Im fine ,still here in Hill End.
My finger is well on the way to being healed, getting most of the feeling back into it.
Just got back from taking a couple of first timers out for a swing with their new SDC and yes they found a nice little gold / ironstone specimen.
I am planing to head north to the Ridge then onto Clermont and Mt Morgan but every time I set a departure date the town finds a way of keeping me here.
I am now the on call maintenance person at The Royal and have been busy fixing things. The publican is covering my camp fees if I stay in the pub till closing time each night to make sure that the barmaids dont get harassed and to talk to the tourists. I was generally in the pub till closing each night anyway. :lol:
There is also talk among the locals about marring me off before I can escape from here
The weather up here has been fantastic for winter with only 3 nights of -7 so far. Once the winter weather that HE is known for sets in I will be on the road.
At this stage I hope to be on the way north by the end of next week unless something pops up to keep me here
cheers
Bob

Might have to change your name to Hillend Bob soon by the sound of things.
Damn, Bob!
You are living the good life, that's for sure!

Hi Tom
I m not planing to be back in H.E until around the end of October at this stage. Get the Doug Stone Map of Hill End. It show the extent of the Common and some of the old workings. The tracks marked on the map are not very accurate but are a starting point.
cheers

You never know who is going to walk into the pub on a Saturday night. Maybe a single women looking for a tall , dark handsome prospector and when she cant find him she might talk to me.

Hi John,
Im planing to leave on Tuesday 18th at this stage. The weather here has been fantastic, frosty mornings followed by clear sunny days around 16 deg,
While the weather is good there is always the chance of rescuing more gold.
It takes about 2 hours to pack up my little home

Hey Bob
Might try to get up there 15th and 16th.
Depends on work at the moment.
If not, have a safe trip and get plenty of gold and lots of piccies.
