We were at the Torrington Emerald mine! Just looking around for emeralds! I was there looking for some for a friend who likes emeralds! And to take photos! Onjahlika was a little emotional from being tired! Gav and Ian were looking and finding some small ones!
Oreo spied his first kangaroo and wanted to leap out of the car to go after it! Problem was he had his seatbelt on and his nearest window was closed! Thus in trying to keep Oreo calm I didn't get to take any photos of the kangaroos!
At one point I had the bragging rights for the largest emerald found which to be honest isn't all that large! Then Gav happened to spy a fairly large one! To see it... http://pirateshoard.blogspot.com/. Gav was looking around the place and found some bones... I had to hold Oreo back and stop him trying to eat them... not sure what may have killed the animal! Most likely some sort of poison!
I wandered around and took photos and cuddled Onjahlika after she tried twice to get up the side of the mullock heap and slipped back down!
I believe we had fun!
From there we went to Blatherarm to hunt Topaz! For all their hard work they didn't find much!
Onjahlika had fun throwing sticks in a puddle of water she had found!Oreo got in trouble for stealing some of Onjahlikas sandwich! He didn't appreciate being tied to a tree by himself!
I like these flowers! very beautiful! Photos just dont do them justice!
The trees are amazing! So many colors and textures!
Such a pity the guys didn't get much topaz! I recall someone saying something about they only found one piece! Not very good considering all the work put in!
