Thanks Hoss. Hey we must find a new name for waterfalls that FALL UP. A waterup ?, a cascadiup ?, a backwasher ?, an upfall ?. In Malaysia, the world's biggest source of rubber, I guess its possible for a river laden with rubber tree juice to bounce back up after taking a fall, but here in Oz the only way it could happen is if the Natives floated their boomerangs down the river and, as we all know, boomerangs always come back !. Wow, what a tourist attraction that would be - come to Australia to see our Great Boomerang Water Upfalls !.

Steve and I do TRY to make a living out of fulltime prospecting, but not many people would be able to handle the ups and downs of the lifestyle. One day you can be on cloud nine, but two months later you could be grovelling around for food scraps at the local dump. A win is essential at least once per year to make up for all the rest of the years losses.

The worst thing about all the new gold patches that I've been involved with is the despicable habit they have of running out of gold !. Hey Steve, next time we find a patch lets make sure it's of the type which NEVER runs out!.

Cheers,

Chris Hake.
