VERY interesting post Whiskers! Thankyou 
It set me to work doing some more studying on SA ... and I've become rather re-interested in my own state! Much of the area of 'Tweedvale' is only an hour or so from where I live! WooHoo!! The only problem is that SA is rather 'old fashioned' in it's attitudes to fellow SA people seeking gold ... but occassionally you run across someone who has some imagination, and is prepared to let you 'fossick' on their land and in their creek beds etc.
Anyway, it's fun doing the study and 'honing the skills' ... thankyou!!
