Status of Creek reports at Tuena

[brendomac]

You definitely got the chunkier stuff, as. You've inspired me to get out there and try again!! I was only getting the finer bits...

 

[Digginholes]

Sluicingoose about 6hrs shovelling into the high banker total.
We also did a further 3hrs but the cons from those 3hrs went to my bros neighbour who has been saphire fossicking for years but never tried gold and has a disability stopping him from getting out, I'm pretty sure he will be happy with what he finds

 

[Digginholes]

As were u the bloke setting up at the crossing?
If so it was nice to meet you and good to see you got some nice bits with the sluice

 

[as5672]

Yeah I was, hoping to get more this weekend. I just love using my little river sluice. I don't care if I don't get much as it's fun.

 

[Digginholes]

Good luck next week.
We will be heading back in a few weeks hopefully.

as5672... I ended up not getting to Tuena as planned as something came up. Anyway maybe meet you again another time..

There is a caravan park (no frills) at Tuena - $10 per night for powered site and $5 for unpowered. Toilets and showers are about 150m away from the main camping area and a hot shower will cost you $1 for 3 minutes.

Woops - didnt see the replies

$10 p/n with power or 5 no power. You pay at the store just up the road.
It is pretty well sign posted where to pay.
The camping ground is stone throw from the creek.

Hi all,

Anyone know from experience what Tuena may be like with the rainfall they have had?

Looks like they have had at least a couple ml each day this week with 15-25ml predicted tomorrow.

 

[CreviceSucker]

Has anyone been to Tuena recently who can advise what the water levels are like ?

a) Is it 2 - 3 feet deep everywhere

B) A few inches deep on average with the odd deep pool

C) mostly dry and barren with only stagnant pools to wash from

Any takers ?

2 weeks ago it was probably B a few inches deep on average with the odd deep pool.

Managed to get out for a fossick for the first time in months. Here's a pic looking down river from the Ford. No flow at the moment.

 

[Way2go]

If not flowing might be good to crevice some of the areas usually under water.

 

[Psycho]

Can anyone tell me if Tuena has seen any rain lately or what the river is like? Hoping there's more water than in the update from April. Wanna take my brother and his kids for a pan this weekend.

Cheers :Y:
