Been a while since I had a chance to get out and do some more research on the Cairns area.
Weather was great today so I thought I would go out for a drive.
This time I wanted to check out the Stannary Hills field just out past Dimbulah.
The area is famous for Coffee, Tin and Tobacco.
I had my new friend Chris with me who I met at the last Cairns Coffee Catchup.
He's only just got his fossicking license so I taught him how to pan for gold and what to look for.
We found a great spot on Eureka Creek with plenty of good water flow and spent the day gold panning out in the bush.
I only found one small spec of gold that I needed a 10x magnification Loupe to see. That was all we got all day.
All in all a great day out in the bush.
