Hi all, my name is Paul and though I live in southern Sydney I have a small property about 10kms south of Oberon which is used as a weekender. I get to Oberon for a few days every 2 or 3 weeks but don't know squat about gold prospecting though I believe there are supposed to be some fair/good locations around Oberon.
As I have owned the Oberon property for more than 10 years I have met, and become friends with, many of the locals so I am hoping to be able to get access to some private land if necessary.
I visited Hill End a few years ago with my brother and his kids as his daughter was doing a school project on gold and he had decided to take her to see the "real thing'! We bought a couple of gold pans for the kids to try out their skills and the pans are still sitting in my shed so I think I might knock up a sluice from bits and pieces and try my hand at gold prospecting.
Any Oberonarians (if that's what a person from Oberon is called?) who might be doing some prospecting could let me know and maybe I could give them a hand and learn something at the same time.
Thanks
Paul
