Hi guys, My real name is Matt and I am from Ulladulla, NSW. I am 37 years old, married and have 3 young boys (men). :D Very very new to this caper, having only panned for gold a total of two days and already finding small amounts of small gold at Mogo and Warri rest area (Shoalhaven). Must be doing something right. I haven't gotten into detecting at this stage but just finished making a small gold cradle which I am keen to give a run.

The info you guys have been providing is very helpful and any other info you can give me about areas around me would be much appreciated. Also, I have also taken a liking to Sapphires after watching Mal and Liz on youtube. Is there any chance that there are sapphires close to my location, as in within 1 hours drive from Ulladulla. I am thinking of making a weekend of it at Wee Jasper and GG at some point but any other info would be great.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. Thanks for the Forum and look forward to seeing you out there some day.

Cheers
Bezza :D
 
G'day Matt, I have driven thru there a few times N-S to Melb. Beautiful coastline and beaches. I am in East Brisbane next to Kangaroo Pt. just outside the CBD. I don't know of any gold in that area but i hope you enjoy your Sapphires.

By the way, welcome Bezza!
 
Welcome Matt

GG is a great spot to take your little men for an adventure, if you head up that way let us all know.

There are plenty of people here who would happily stop by for a yarn and give some pointers if they are on the river.
 
All good Paydirt, no thin skin here.
And thanks Wally69, I'll be the one who looks like he is lost with no idea what he is doing, lol. A few days of clear skies might see me hit Mogo with my new gold cradle to see how it goes, if the creeks are too high that is.
