Re: My time in the Mines...
Hi Wilf. These pics look like they might be a small private mine? Not trying to sleaze any info, just making a comment based on the type of truck/equipment, mine entrance etc.
Is this a smaller private mine?

Brilliant!! It's just good to see that not everything is in the hands of the "big boys"
PS. As much as anything, the truck was the give-away!

Nice photo's Wilf. Was that getting crushed at Black Cameron? How long ago were these shots taken? Pretty amazing that One tree has been mined for well over a hundred years and they reckon there is still heaps of gold down there.
