Public Gold Panning and Fossicking Areas I loved reading of your mini gold fossicking adventure :)
For the benefit of anyone looking to go gold panning in New Zealand, check out PayDirt.co.nz for a map of all the public gold fossicking areas where you can go give it a go without a permit.
Enjoyed the stay Hi Muzz & Cher - good to see the blog up and the pics.... did not know that I was so handsome(^!^)... Hope all is going great for you both - winter is finished here and I look forward to getting back into the water again with the dredge. We did not have any floods to excite the streams around here but I guess there will still be a bit around to get at. Take care guys - A & D in Naseby.
Thanjs Guys Neil & Pauline......It was all good fun, Ithoroughly enjoyed the chase of finding Georgina, must be the Detective coming out in me and the rewards were huge just to see the smile on Georgina's face. A once in a life time opportunity, though I do hope we will be able to visit her in Honiara some time. Speaking of Mum's that is where I am at the moment, staying for a week whilst my brother is in hospital after a fall and now a hip replacement operation. Hope you are both well, glad you enjoyed the blog. ....Murray

Great to hear from you and thanks for the comments, I still haven't replied to your e-mail, though I did put it on the noticeboard at work for everyone to see. Great to hear that you are in Scotland for a break.

Glenorchy.... Hi Muzza & Sheryl, for a moment I thought you were in Scotland when I read Glenorchy. I'm currently here enjoying similar scenery but of course NZ is much better. I'm up in the glens of Perthshire with a cousin and his Shetland ponies and and a daft old dog called Bob.
I left Syria about two weeks ago so I'll have a break here then go back in another two weeks, inshallah.

Thanks Thanks for the encouragement, it is hard work writing them up, but it is all worth it when folks like yourselves comment favourable. I still have to finish the travelblog off so better get typing to night and get another chapter or two done. Great to see you both again. Thanks for coming home from work early to see us Neil 9 As if you needed an excuse)
