Wet weather--stay put Empty Wet weather--stay put

Post by Guest Sun 02 Jun 2013, 4:22 pm

have read reports of prospectors getting bogged on their way to their prospecting areas let alone trying to get out..

Usually find if u allow 3-4 days of fine windy weather u can usually get out without stuffing up the gravel roads all that much...

if u r heading into a station to carryout a bit of prospecting then notify the station owner and get the low down on the conditions of his roads and tracks and how much rain they have had.

Stay safe--hate to read a report of prospectors perishing due to flooding--stay on high ground and away from creeks..

Seems a bit funny the amount of rain weve had over the last month or so- pretty unusual for this time of year up here (based on my last couple years here). Anyway the rains back with a vengeance today again in Hedland.Sad

How did you do down in Marble Bar K-town????
