Omg that was an amazing episode, I could of watched an hour long episode.

[@GavinGillett]

Thank you, I'm looking forward to doing more like this :D

What an absolute legend Talis is! A wealth of knowledge! Excellent episode Gavin, wasn't long enough! Cheers mate.

[@GavinGillett]

I could have spent weeks with Talis. Great bloke

[@nbrettoner]

Absolutely brilliant. Sooooo glad Gavin you went ahead with this segment. It's content such as this that develops and brings to bloom the very essence of our great outback. A huge part of which is due to amazing people such as Talis. Thankyou. And thankyou especially to Talis for inviting you (and us through media) into his world and life. :)

Thanks Gavin, what a wonderful insight into Opal mining. Talis is an absolute legend, and as a bonus, . . . recites poetry. It's a rare privilege to meet and spend time with these type of people as you travel through life. Thanks for the efforts and sharing the experience, cheers.

[@GavinGillett]

Thanks BigKev, it sure was a privilege for me to be in his company for a short time.

Another great and informative, interesting video. We are certainly blessed in this country and thats why we own 4 wheel drives to explore it. My uncle made a fortune mining there in the 60s and 70s . Bloody hard work in those days.

Another great episode mate. Really looking forward to what is to come.

[@GavinGillett]

Beyond Bitumen cheers mate :)

Good effort bud. I looked forward to seeing around that area myself some day

Great location and very interesting place mate. I think old mate Ronny did this trip and slept in there for a few nights, lol, not sure i would do the same with those shafts coming in lol. Gold. ATB Moose.

[@tonydawnwright346]

Bugger that, those tunnels look dodgy caving in. Another great video Gavin. Thank you.

[@steve_ohhhhhhh]

Fantastic.

G'Day mate, well done, nice. One thing might be interesting for people to find out with this particular and maybe more eps in the future, What Makes Coober Pedy good for Opals, eg.. Type of Dirt or whatever produces Opals. Keep up the interesting Info. Cheers

[@GavinGillett]

I love that suggestion, i'd like to know the same but I haven't found someone yet that knows the answer. Need to find a Geo thats a fan of the channel to tell us :D

[@shanebaker2195]

A good explanation of opal formation is here www.opalsdownunder.com.au/learn-about-opals/advanced/how-opal-formed

[@GavinGillett]

Thank you, I love this kind of information :D

[@efijycat1856]

[@GavinGillett]

Hi there, not sure why you thought I would be at Bluff Knoll but I'm still in the Pilbara :D
