@FollowingABrokenCompass there would be so much gold in the ocean. Gold bearing rivers ran to the continental shelf 18000 years ago. Places like Montreal Gold field at Bermagui is a perfect example, they mined all the way to the low tide mark and were still getting Gold.

Or seeing a ginger bloke in a wetsuit hahah! Yeah this was actually the first trip I used my Garmin in reach, I had an accident last year up a creek and it scared me enough to buy one. So slippery and I fell and landed bad on the back of my hip. Nah mate, I’m working harder than ever, still in the mines and currently working on weeks off too. I just edit these up at night time at work or on my flights! Thanks for the comment as always! Really helps and I appreciate it! The last rut one will be mental!

Hey, like I have said in my videos. I love these spots and every spot can be someone’s favourite spot in the world. If you have been to locations you can’t figure out where it is but I don’t like to name drop. It’s half the fun finding spots and I don’t want to ruin it for people. Sorry but my lips are sealed- most rivers on the dividing range have gold so there is allot to chose from and start exploring. Hope I don’t seem rude, and appreciate your comment :) happy hunting
