    Good on you Andy thanks for showing us the real physicalities of gold prospecting climbing up and down into all of those valleys. Plus with summer coming on you don't want to be out in the heat. enjoy your recovery times and sink those beers and gorge on steak lol basically run amok mate lol. Stay safe...

    Seeing you struggle a bit was hard. Then I just read a report that two peospectors perished in the heat at Esmeralda Station the other day a couple km from their car which was near a dam. I go out solo in central and southern NSW but I'm fairly green. Makes me think about if I'm prepared enough. Poor buggers were experienced geoligists that knew the area well and still went up the wrong gully. Breaks my heart. Hope you have a good break out of that humidity. Really enjoying your channel showing areas I'll never get to.

    Great persistence mate, I wish we had the same type of open ground in my area.. Unfortunately we have thick bush mostly unwalkable and steep mountains.. I’ve found most gold lives in the creeks rivers and gullies. In saying that if there’s a fire it’s game on . 😂😂. Keep it up mate .. fantastic work in hard conditions.

Because if fires start at the end of the dry season, they can get out of control and threaten lives, property and livestock.
