Nice work mate...i was down the road at billabong blue...spent about three weeks out there in the last month with a few breaks in between . Hard digging but theres some great stones to be had . Got so many . scored a few nice cutters.. about 15 now.. including a 8.9 ct champagne zircon thats a piece of glass . Theyre all packed in the car but ill throw up some pictures later when i get home from this epic trip ..biggest bomb was 52 ct. highlights included getting three crystal clear zircon cutters in two seives out of some seriously hard ground and learning how to divine water. And beers and snags with heatho and his mate... cheers for the hookup when my starter motor packed it in.. great guys

Was good to meet you Madfisher, glad you got the car sorted. Are you still up in the gemfields? I'm hanging to get back up there.
