    Thanks for sharing the vid and the tips on better crevicing.
    Simple things can make the experience much more rewarding.

    That yabbie pump extension with the heavies trap you then empty is a great innovation that, as you say, also overcomes losses from the usual big opening, we are thinking of a simple way for that to close on the upstroke when it reaches a certain point like a heart valve, or Dune sandworm! That would aid in volume, and the inner heavies or gravel trap can be modified to suit the materials expected, a tip seen via AndyPandy, "The Poverty Prospector".
    As ii goes in the Bohemian language, "ahoy" means goodbye, & happy-go-lucky to you from Gabi of Narre Warren.

      Heh heh, love the sandworm analogy. Yes, having a valve would be unreal. I'll check out the tip. Cheers, Gabi.

    Haha nice work mate, the bottle is got those hard to get to places, and a smaller coke bottle or the likes works better! Happy hunting!

      Cheers. Yes, I can see how a smaller and maybe slightly thicker plastic bottle would work.

    The entrance is down near the boiler. History says that last time the mine was sold, it was salted as the gold had run out. There is also a mine entrance back up the track a bit. Did you see the ore carts and wheels amount the black berries in the gully near the boiler.

      Unfortunately, i feel I missed some interesting aspects. Some areas look like they had collapsed but were obviously cut into the rock face.

      I was misled by the car thermometer. When I arrived it said that, but after I a while the real temperature became apparent.

    I'd detect that "gully" in the track going down to the mine.

      I was thinking about that. There was areas of quartz and granite emerging down the trail.

      Is it the natural call or mimicry? There were a few different sounds from different places.

      @@L0U1SE it wouldn’t surprise me if at least one of the sounds was a lyrebird. It’s a strong possibility. Was a great natural soundscape to experience regardless.

      Yes, that's the name I discovered it was after I made the video. When I looked it up on maps I typed in Sunny Corner mine and it took me there.

      @scottpearce4072 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for sharing, there are a few more interesting old mine sites around the area to the north that still have a few relics from the past, unfortunately Lagoon creek was not a great producer they thought it might have been.

      @@scottpearce4072 Cool. I'd certainly check them out. They are interesting. That's a hell of a lot of effort to set up for a mine that doesn't produce a lot.
