Landscapes of Abundance ,Scarcity of the Northern Plains

[tinpan]

Hi Folks , Been out for a few hunts on my resent long week end . Started at a gold mining portable steam engine battery ,stone foundation and inside back filled to form a platform. Then moved to a old grove of trees which was once a Sunday school pic-nic ground close to a country football ground. When the next day i went to a settlers farm from the land grants of 1869 but wondering stockman used the area in the 1840's

Wow! That's a heck of a lot of digging Tinpan!
Love the Transvaal War Medal and the decorative buckle, I found a similar one years ago, though not as big as yours!

Great site pics and history too mate,
