Great article Doug, well done mate.

 

[Rusty_G]

Great stuff Doug, It sends the right message; that the bulk of us love the bush and will be responsible in it.
Lol Silver...thats Chuck Norris's practice nugget.

 

[Tathradj]

LOL at Silver.
If I put that one up saying it was found at Yambulla,
The whole South Coast would vacate down there. :lol:
That was the reason why I asked to state " Pretend Gold. "
It would give the wrong impression as in honesty.

You shoulda looked like this I recon !

[bluejeansronald]

Great job Doug, We have to let people know were not all yarhooooo.

 

[Tathradj]

Exactly right Ron.
Just came back from presenting our case with Stephen from NAPHA at Bega Valley Shire.
Went very well with a lot more interest generated. Now we wait for the verdict.

Well done Doug
We appreciate the effort you have been putting in for our hobby. Thank you and others who have been pro-active.
ps if we ever catch up first beers on me

 

[Tathradj]

Another Update.
What an experience that was.
We have another entry in the paper again.
Working with Stephen was an absolute pleasure And the
reaction from the council was very positive. And we
were very pleasantly surprised on the reaction plus
the Councillors friendly attitude towards us.
All we can do now is let due process unfold as the council deliberates
over the decision one way or the other.
Stay Tuned,

That's a very positive story, Doug, and its great to hear that you got a good reception from the Councillors. Maybe there are not too many greenies on Council these days!

Congratulations Tathradj and Stephen for your efforts, i would love to see the Bega Valley become a Fossicking district also since i live there and i'm sure it could attract more visitors to the area which is allways good for the local economy. Best of luck with future efforts and thanks for your promotional work to. Cheers Dolpin.

[Tathradj]

Thanks People,
Well, According to the unwritten decree of NAPFA, I am a lifter.
Shaker and a stirrer. LOL
I have no compuncture on standing up to the common joys and
respect of what both we and myself stand for.
I am a Common Man setting out to broadcast both the admiration
of the friends who I love and I also respect and love of our Land
and with what it has to offer.
It's need's are very simple.
But, This has been over grown and twisted to a point that is
beyond comprehension by greed.
.
Truth be known, I love a good yarn.
Those who have met me, I am what I am.
Those who know me. Always here.
I do not ask much, Just we us stand up and be counted as one.
Thank You.
It means a lot to me.
