Am camping at Aboriginal camp. Pop in and say hello if around. One day solid, no gold yet. 100 shotty pellets though.
A few forum members at the other caravan park, The Granites. Finding gold as well as pellets and the usual metal. Will catch up.

About Tibooburra
Tibooburra place of rocks, its a very picturesque little town surrounded by strings of granite boulders. Theres 2 pubs, but if you go for tea at the Family Hotel and theres a tour group or bus load, be prepared to wait for your meal, even if you order before them. Dont forget to take a peek at the paintings on the walls whilst thereLOL. Meals at the Tibooburra Hotel were really good.
We stayed at the Aboriginal Camp Ground, hot showers and clean toilets for $15 per vehicle a night, plus a donation for the hot water. Theres plenty of room to spread out, fire places, but no power.
Town goss has it that Mt Browne Station has been sold, new owner is a local lady whose son has only just moved in. I dont know what their thoughts were on opening up their land for detecting.
Had a trip out to Camerons Corner, and had a beer at the pub.
The Sturt Desert Peas were out in flower.
Met up with some wonderful forum members, Roy and his lovely wife Anita, and also Rick. Was fantastic to chat and compare settings and finds etc. Thanks guys, great meeting you.
Gold well I did find 7 pieces with the SDC, so Wal I did get a rattle in my jar. I found them all on the common. Actually I was shocked at how big the common really was, its huge. I did find an old Chinese coin in an old fire dated 1740 (I think) - thats by far the oldest coin I have found yet. Found it with my Garrett AT Pro.
We had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, combined with awesome warm weather, what more could a person want? Maybe a big nugget and more time!! LOL. I would definitely go back.
We left Tibooburra Saturday morning, just as we got to Broken Hill the rain started coming down. Roads around Tibooburra were closed shortly after.
I will post some pics when I work out how to shrink them down.
Cheers,
Sheryl

Nice write up Sheryl, I'm looking forward to seeing the Sturt Desert Pea in full bloom. Lucky you I use http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Home.aspx for resizing.1024KB is the size you need. By memory i think it is the small image size in the list.

Sounds like you had a great trip, I'm keen to get out there for a look too, hopefully next Winter I'll make it there.

Must just be me...i have tried to use this tool but all i get (even after selecting the smallest size available) is a copy of the image at the same size. Frustrating the hell outta me...
I did notice that regardless of which size i choose, the 1200 x 900 stays the same if that helps?
Any help or suggestions as to what i may be doing wrong?
Cheers

G'day GG,
All I do is open the page, hit Browse, select image, select size (in this case under OPTIMIZATION it's "small file size" in the QUALITY line) wait for it to compress then hit download.
Your new file will say something like
Optimized-187JPG
JPG File
and your file size which in my case has been as low 274KB to 992KB,
Depending on cropping pria to resizing.
If you have trouble finding the image once optimized, I use firefox and the file goes into my "arrow" icon which displays the progress of downloads. I go into there, right click (open containing folder) and there it is in all it's glory.
Hope this helps, I'd hate the thought of all us here missing out on a pic of some GOLD

Thanks Neo, perhaps therein lays the problem. I open the provided link and don't see any "Browse" button, just a "Choose File" which i click. I then go to the file on my computer i want and click "open". This then inserts on the Optimizer page, select the smallest setting available and then i click "Optimize Now". However, when i change the required size the box that has 1200x900 it doesn't change with the change of required size.
After that is done it shows a screen saying it has been Optimized and took xxxx seconds but shows going from 49kb > 49kb????
Then i try to upload it as my Avatar and it comes back as too big???
Like i said, it HAS to be something i'm doing....because aside from terminology, it seems i'm replicating exactly what you do but get a different result??? I feel like...WTF??? Hahaha.
Thanks for trying to help, and apologies to Sheryl for going OT....
Back to normal transmission...lol
