    Hey legends I hope you enjoy this extended edit of an awesome trip into the 19 mile osmiridium workings! Some of you might of seen the original shorter version of this a while back, when my channel was a lot smaller, but it was such an awesome historic spot I wanted to give the experience more love. Hopefully you guys enjoy this trip and edit, let me know what you think below! Rob.

    A stunning place, incredibly beautiful forest, and an amazing history. Thanks for the extended edit, thoroughly deserved to see you include the historical imagery to compare with a century plus later, thanks for your exceedingly generous output we all enjoy. Flea Creek and 19 Mile can do with another visit and investigate further if any osmiridium is left, what possible nuggets they'd missed and also relics may be discovered, and a go at sniping any anabranches they hadn't blasted. May you stay safe and happy and the best regards to Erin and Scout, cheers! Gabi of Narre Warren, Victoria.

    Hi Rob, McGinty …. you reminded me of a little song we used to sing as a child . I’ll share with you before I forget 🎶‘ Paddy McGinty was an Irish man of note, who fell into a fortune and bought himself a goat, now this very goat had an appetite and early one morning he ate some dynamite, 3 quarts of petrol, the same with gasoline ( something something) He sat by the fire and didn’t give a hank. A great big spark went down his throat and he went off with a bang. (slowly now) And if you go to heaven, i bet you a dollar note, the Angel with the whiskers is Paddy McGinty’s goat, aye,Paddy McGinty’s goat. 🤣Maybe someone can fill in the missing words.. Thanks Rob and Levi 😂❤❤

      I am a flogged out Oz prospector who worked in sixty or more sulphide type shows and am 44 years married to the daughter of a beautiful Cornish lass. It was the Cornish tin contractors who started the Australian sulphide mining industry in S.Aus in 1847. All Australian hardrock mining heritage begins with the Cornish men.

    it blows my mind what the old timers would do to get to the prize, they were engineering genius.
    We have a couple of diversion tunnels in Victoria, 1 in Lerderderg ( my local spot) , another new Walhalla and another i think in the ringwood area.
    You could get LiDAR there to map the walled streams.
