Poverty prospecting Australia

Hi Everyone, On the road to outback South Australia. Going to Opal country. Just a picture of the old sign, and the great camping at Aspley S.W. Vic

Happy trails, Andy. Hope with that UV torch you find some thick & cheesy opal slices! Bloody awesome show of the Gold Escort sign, must have needed to send SA gold to Vic as their govt shut down the Adelaide Assay Office in 1852, as with the "Adelaide Pound" it wasn't an official currency, but we didn't mint anything ourselves until 1872. Still more to learn, but you go find us both an example, each, and some stamped ingots too, that'll do a few millions I'd reckon! Any cliffs or ravines on that route, any dropped leather satchels? I'll dream on! Stay safe, don't walk backwards in the dark... Fark!
