Northeast Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi River Rat. Finding a spot close to Perth is your issue. I am not 100% but I would guess you would need to travel 4-5 hours to hit gold bearing country. And then you need to research a spot, get your permits, a car, food, water, safety gear, maybe camping gear or stay in motels, etc. Depending on how much time you have you could possibly book a tour with one of the prospecting operators. That might make the logistics a bit easier. Also, outback Australia in February will be bloody hot. And even the beach in Perth will be pretty warm past 11 in the morning. None of it is impossible but will need some good planning and preparation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 THE Tour Operators will usually rent you a detector, such as a GPZ... PLease, do not buy just any detector. Oz has the worst ground... fred 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivers rat Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 After all your advises I had a look late in the night I found a few I least I got a starting point it is a bit pricey but we will see. Some GPZ sold at bargain prices in UK and in France but I may have another card in my sleeve................ Once again Thanks to all RR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Jan 23, 2015 - The temperature has hit a scorching 49 degrees in the small Western Australian outback town of Marble Bar- just 0.2 of a degree below the highest temperature recorded in the town. If you are tough enough (Like us Oz) this map might help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
