6 Day Camping & Gold Prospecting Trip

Come with me and my prospecting buddy, Rhys, as we head to the goldfields of Western Australia, around Paynes Find, Agnew and Leonora as we chase the elusive 'yellow rocks'.
Along the way I'll show you around the heritage trail outside Sandstone and discuss the reasons for forward planning as we detour to buy fuel, believing there was no fuel available at Sandstone...according to the details on my HEMA Explorer ap on my ipad.
The Navara has a 145L long range fuel tank and on the trip I averaged 14L/100kms, giving me a range of just over 1000kms. Even so, I had room in the camper trailer for 2 jerry cans of diesel, which I'll pack next time.

Being late in the year, the daytime temperatures were in the mid to high 30s, which caused me to struggle in the heat, even with the precautions I was taking...wide brimmed hat, long sleeve shirt, drinking plenty of water and trying to stay in the shade where possible.
Heat stress is no fun and can be very dangerous, hence the decision to pack up and head home earlier than planned.
