6.1) Treasure-hunting in the region of Carnarvon |
|
| |
Treasure-hunting in Australia is also known there as “Fossicking”. So called treasures are everywhere in Australia. The only problem is to find this “everywhere”, because who has already been in Down Under yet, knows, how difficult different regions are to find. We also had this problem. We bought a lot of books in Australia. There, countless Fossicking Areas were listed and also described, but it hasn’t been a real help for us. First, many of this so called Fossicking Areas were exploited and on the other hand it has been much too dangerous in parts. This is why we decided to list those Fossicking Areas, which you can find without “big problems”. And to see that the found stones are not valueless, you can survey them in our Australian Shop. In 4 years, there have come up over 149 PDF files in this way. Further information about the subject Fossicking can be found here: http://fossicking.fly-to-australia.com/ . |
