Good luck - hope you find some nice colour!

Would love to see some photos if the flood left some decent carnage behind ;)

Had to have a look on Google Earth to find out where the Baton River was. Love that programme. Another place which has shown up some gold in the past is the Tadmor River, which isn't too far off the beaten track. Might be a place to look at in the Christmas holidays
