Thanks
@Cleo
Driving is fine, but believe it or not,
standing still is the worst/most painful for my back.
Walking not so good, but now that I'm doing a bit more,
back/knees might improve a little.
Visiting the caves might be too hard, although even just the entrance,
like the Grand Arch at Jenolan, is spectacular.
Can't kneel, but making a prospectors panning seat,
so should be all good.
Finding some gold at Tuena, would help ease the pain.
Wish I could remember where the abandoned mines were,
but it was 50 years ago, and I wasn't really paying attention.
The locals, (store owner) might know.
We took out some sizeable pieces of quartz, with around 10% gold.
Got the cameras, tripods, yabbie lines ready. Get to say good bye to my best mate,
died 16 months ago, have a beer with
@Cabbie, see my Sis. go to so many
of the places that I went to growing up, looking forward to it.
Hopefully QT might turn up too.
