We can link up at some other time.
I also gave you more information on that adit
you were at last weekend.
There are a lot more in that park which I'm
happy to show some time.
That's why I call it "my playground" there
is so many places to have fun there.
Cheers Steve

Have you done much prospecting in those mines
I dont know how you cant..... I walk in with at least a bucket and usually comenout with full pockets lol I guess I just love hardpack gravels and gold..... even just a waterbottle a torch and magnifying glass will do the trick

i'm feeling the death element......
It looks like it's a loong way down----------plonk!!!
Yes it is,
Its about 80 feet of sheer terror all the
way down to a sudden stop
But it is a very interesting mine.
It runs straight for about 150 TO 200 metres,
at about 40 metres it goes left for about 70 metres
till it bends around to the right and runs roughly
parallel to the main tunnel, at this point there is
a rock fall and another tunnel to the left which
is back filled almost to the top , I cleared the
rubble out of the way to see how far it went.
The tunnel then proceeds about 39-49 metres
At this point there is a right turn into a tunnel which
is about 15 metres and ends in a chamber roughly
5x4 metres with a ceiling up to 3 metres high.
In the last few years there has been a lot of
prospecting activity in there.
Going back to the start of the right turn tunnel you
arrive at the BRIDGE of DEATH!!!
CAUTION this is very dangerous.
Do not touch the ha d rail as its very unstable.
I have fixed it as best as I can but it cannot be
used.

Keen to see this adit is it easily accessible near a bush track or bit of a hike?
The other side of the bridge runs for about another
200 metres but is unstable towards the end where
it comes to a T.
This is a very dangerous and unstable section
and I strongly advise it as a no go area.
Hope that wets some appetites.
Oh yeah some nice quartz veins in the main tunnels
