Rainy Kilkivan Trip.

Posted on November 11, 2012 by ivoradventures

This weekend I travelled to Kilkivan, braving the weather, secretly hoping it wasn’t going to rain as much as was predicted. No such luck. It wasn’t like anybody was looking for a lifeboat, but it was wet and miserable. I arrived … Continue reading →

Posted on October 9, 2012 by ivoradventures

This weekend I travelled to the Kilkivan Gold field again, the area produces, no need to go anywhere else. After a couple of good days sluicing dirt in the creek, I was finding it hard to get motivated, to get … Continue reading →

Queensland Gold.

Posted on October 9, 2012 by ivoradventures

As I went to work on Thursday, it was with a sense of anticipation, as I had been arranging a prospecting trip with club members. Since I’ve become active in the club, I’ve met so many nice people, it’s just ridiculous. Finishing work … Continue reading →

Ghosts in the Fog.

Posted on September 23, 2012 by ivoradventures

Saturday morning had me driving up the Bruce Highway through Gympie. The fog settled in thickly and created an eerie scene. It’s unsettling finding vehicles appearing suddenly from the murk.   So very rare to have heavy fog in Queensland, might … Continue reading →
