Haven`t heard from him for a week or so, suspect he`s having a ball with the GHs. Smoke signal rumour is the GoG has been treating him well, living the dream.

Hi mate, have just got in from bush and was catching up on some work emails ect before a camp. Paul is doing well, think he has about 12 days or something to go. He has settled into our way of life like a duck to water and has got our North Queensland cussing nearly down to a fine art Reckon he might have a few yarns to tell when he hits town.

Hi everybody, had to come in for a short stint for fish unloads, just thought I would drop in and and let you all know that Paul is A OK  Having a great time with us blokes. I won't elaborate further than that, as this will be his story to tell. Reckon we might need a crowbar to pry him out of North Queensland though  

This is VANursePaul on Dave's computer----

Well the day has arrived!!!!

After a last shower and a quick brekkie... we finish loading out 

Looks like a 5 hour drive out to the area we are going.... bush track the last part......

We will get to see how tough the Subaru is today.

It is an understatement to say I am excited... 

From the moment I set foot in AU I have been overwhelmed by the hospitality of all who have helped make this trip possible..

Wonderland?????----- Yeah mate, I'm soaking in it 

HH to all of you....

Just finished Monte Dwyers "Struberville" , he goes into some depth on this NQOZ murder in particular the court proceedings that seen the two get a lifetime sentence(15 years until possible parole) on circumstantial evidence and no body. Plus an expose of an attitude he portrays as being caused by isolation. Also the ongoing battle the wife of the victim is having to have no body, no parole legislation introduced.

For those who have read Dave Wrights two top novels "Blood Gold & Revenge" and "Bush Redemption" , "Struberville" illustrates the effect isolation has on people, Dave portrays this and the consequencies so well in his novels. Top, topical but frightening reads all three books. Unfortunately "Struberville" is not available in digital, although it may be so in the US.

Yeah mate are about 15 pages into his book, funny didn't see that bloke at the trial at all..Or putting up his hand to go out and search for Bruce. Regardless, I wish him the best on his book weather he lived it or not. Cheers Dave.

Well done mate, by the above post your fitness and endurance levels have increased since arriving in the North.So are you ready for next week?  

Hi all, just thought I would share this article in todays Cairns post from another author that has written on the Palmerville murder. For those who have read my first book  "Blood Gold Revenge "will be able to relate. Cheers Dave.

WOW ...Awesome Dave. Congrats to Dale.  Was the 19" coil involved in any of the finds? Thanks for sharing.

Good luck out there

JW 

Hi JW, both 80 plus grammers were found in the same day at a reasonable depth of about 2 feet or more . Nurse Paul missed the trip by a missed call from Dale while fishing for our elusive Barramundi. Anyway he will catch up with all us guys out bush shortly, yep it's deep ground he is working  so now the 19 will come into play.The question I ask is will Paul ever get back home 

sorry don't know how to put all the pic's on the 1 post, please bear with me.

The one above 81 grammer, the one below 82 grammer.

Though unrelated to the monster finds,but related to Dales week off with his new girl are his finds for 4 part days with his 7k. Hope you all enjoy. 

233grams after the lid was on tare.

Seriously..

After having shot fantastic vid in some of the most remote, dangerous and beautiful spots left on this planet it isn't until after saying the vids will be curtailed due to the ongoing hassle of messing with the cams and amount of time it takes away from actual prospecting that y'all get hurt in the relative safety of civilization while wrangling crossword puzzles or playing no-contact nerf ball..

It seems sooo not right is all.. Maybe you're supposed to keep on shootin' vid out there..? I dunno.. Just sayin'..

Swamp

Yeah mate, im hearing ya.

As promised, gold found by the monster by Dales new girl. First detector she has ever used.

Will Paul survive the bloody gold hounds......????? Tread carefully Paul.

JW

 hey JW, yeah mate seriously he will be all sweet, we won't be going to hard, just showing our hospitality to a fellow prospector from the opposite side of the world that has been a big fan of our vids.I am sure he will enjoy the company and the gold.

The lads all keyed up in anticipation, but will the GHs survive Cyclone Paul

 yeah mate, looking forward to it. Paul would have to be without a doubt the largest nurse I have ever met in person. I am sure he will have a ball and reckon he will certainly sleep well at night after climbing a few hills. Takes the sting out of most including the locals. 

Off topic, met Paul the USA ambassador in the North for the first time today  Great bloke I reckon, we have sorted a trip out with our Goldhounds crew, so hopefully he will have some nice show and tell and experiences to share before he heads home.

Hey Norvic, yeah mate spose it might look that way  both Tremain and Dales injuries occurred while in town.And me, well guess that's why they call me Dangerous sometimes.

G'day Dave

 

Mate I'm sorry to read about your accident and your in a bad way for a while, I sure hope you heal quick and can get back to everything you like doing.  Get well soon mate.

 

cheers dave

Thanks Dave,yep on the mend now.Even if I have to relegate myself to camp cook as gripping a set of motorbike handlebars would still be awkward increasing the probability of dropping the bike and putting my wrists back to the start. Just going to have to try and tone things down some till fully recovered,which is not the easiest thing to do with our crew
