    We're getting close to our January (Nundle NSW) Prospecting Camp. We have almost 50 people attending :)

    There's still time to register, the camp is FREE! well except for campground fee which is bugger all..

    Cheers,
    Squiggles.

    Its looking to be a fantastic turnout so far, we have around 55 expected attendees including YouTube favourites WalnLiz.The creeks are looking a little dry which isn't all bad as we'll have access to a lot of (normally) unexposed ground. If anyone else is interested in attending, you're more than welcome.

    P.S. Don't panic if you've never prospected before as there'll be plenty of advice on hand, and we'll also have a variety of loaner pans and sieves available for those who don't have their own gear.

    Cheers,
    Squiggles

    The camp was a great success with a turnout of 35 or so from the original 55, unfortunately a few people had to pull out for different reasons but it didn't have any impact on the trip itself.

    Pictures are starting to emerge and can be seen here http://www.prospectingaustralia.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4553

    Here are a couple of teasers ;)

    We are starting to plan the next trip for around Easter, and it'll most likely be somewhere in the Hill End region.

    Cheers,
