Well there certainly was a lot of gold in the stream where we were panning, except it was all gold dust, and not a sign of any nuggets for us to retire on.
We’re inland again, in Tamworth on the New England plateau and amazed by the variety Australia has to offer: waterfalls, rich green lands, red soil hinting at the red centre that lies beyond, glorious sunsets and thunderstorms at night that were so far off they couldn’t be heard (thankfully!)
