New to prospecting and to this forum..

[Padre]

Hi All,
WE (me and my family) are all new to this. Went out for a bit of a scratch in some dirt with the kids and came away very keen to know more. I have already enjoyed looking through a number of your post and I'm looking forward to being part of this community!!

Welcome Steve and family.

You should be able to gather a lot of info on the forum to help you out. What part of Australia are you in and what type of fossicking/prospecting are you into?

Cheers

Doug

Hi guys,
Thanks for the welcome. We live in Ingham, North QLD, only new to this game so open to anything. We are taking 4 months LSL and camping our way eventualy to Melbourne. So if anyone has any recommendations for places a family can prospect, I'd love to hear it.

Hi Steve,

Going by what others have say, if you are going anywhere near Inverell NSW stop into Billabong Blue and have a go for saphires. I beleive that you can camp there also. Plenty of places along your journey to check out. Do some reading through the forum and you should be able to plan a great trip.

Cheers

Doug

I'm taking off on Saturday for about 6 months and heading south so I might bump into you along the way.

Thanks RM, that would be awesome. Hopefully we will be somewhat acclimatised by then. I'm not sure it was the wisest move heading south in winter, but it will be a new experience.

Thanks,

Steve
