Hi all, camping sites at the Heazlewood bridge are fairly limited and access tight for caravans, but just 10 minutes back up the road towards Waratah is the old townsite of Luina which has ample space for caravans etc. Just bring your own supplies of drinking water and firewood. Luina has phone reception too. ``` Cheers, Fox. ``` ---

G’day all, if camping at the Luina town site, please be aware that there are TWO lots of bee hives sitting there, most likely a fair bit apart. From own bee keeping experience the leatherwood tends to make them a bit agro if coming close to the hives. See you there Ray ---

Hi, had an amazing time, found Gold, Osmeridium, jasper, pyrite, galena, maybe metallic zinc, still to test it, peacock ore. Unfortunately not enough gold for Ron to make a decision on mining yet. But they ran a fantastic event. ---
