Good morning,
I have lived in the central goldfields area for more than thirty years, still classified as a newcomer in the region.
Retired now from hospital work after first starting in my trade training at the tender age of eighteen.
I drive a ranger 4x4 pulling a twenty foot caravan around the country with my wife of many years.
next trip to Darwin then down the Gibb river road.
Pomme.

Re: New face.
Welcome to the forum Pomme and wife. Was the new face a retirement gift after a life time of service in the hospital? Do you think it was more useful than a gold watch? Which gold fields have you lived in for 30 yrs? I'm guessing WA but I think each state still has at least one

Re: New face.
Apology for that i knew where i was from !!! and assumed everyone else would know, central Victoria, if you drew a line from Ballarat to Bendigo,
then another line from St Arnaud to Maryborough and i would be somewhere near there on an acreage.
One of the first things i had made up when we arrived was to have several large dams dug, now the wife wants me to beautify around them planting trees and the such.

Wow! Sounds like a good place to have a gathering? lol
Are the dams in black mud suitable for yabbies?

Re: New face.
Some where near Muckleford Pommie? We had a get together there at the station a few yrs back and a ride on the train from there to Castlemaine and back to Maldon. Brian (Homeless) was a member of the goldfield railway group at the time but no idea if he is still a member there or not.

Re: New face.
Hi BruceS,
The main dam which is approx three to four acres has a bottom of red clay right down to the reef, when it was first dug went down thirty feet.
No yabbies because soon after it was dug i put a lot of fish in it, (Yellow belly, and Murray cod) and they keep the yabbies down.
there is a few blue yabbies in one of the other smaller dams but not many.
Power on with generator back up, and solar, water to mains and several tanks for drinking.
Ps, a few trout also put in the main dam.

Add on in answer to T1 Terry, about one hundred k's west of Muckleford Terry much drier country here. Pomme
