1. Turtles on a log
2. Gold hunt at Clermont festival
Gold Rush:
Stopped in this lovely little town by accident, only to discover that they were in the middle of a fossicking frenzie due to the Gold festival in progress. The whole camping ground is involved, even to the extent that they have a fossickers detection equipment shop/club right on site. We needed the rest and this looks like a very interesting hive of activity. Everyone owns a metal detector and a myriad of other equipment right down to special snake protectors. We spent the first day at the Gold festival being held in the town park, starting off with a bush poet’s breakfast followed by lots of country music interspersed with raffles for gold nuggets and shopping vouchers, and stalls with all things gold (jewellery, etc.) The next morning we got up early to attend the annual fossicking competition to be held at a secret location. We spent the morning watching all these people walking around a paddock with their metal detectors looking for marked tokens (not as easy as it looks, using the detectors, I mean). There were lots of very expensive prizes, one being a $5,000 metal detector. It was a fun day in the sun and Ray's now thinking gold sounds like a good investment.
