Will be passing through the
Meekatharra area in mid to late June and are a very amature rock/mineral hound. I would appreciate some guidance as to
where to start looking in this area.

PS not into gold prospecting.

Tol, obviously you have never been there b4 so the best advice I can give, as I did spend 3 months there in 2006, is go a bit further north east, as Meeka is a place you only go because your getting paid heaps to be there & she's getting paid to keep you LOL
Stay
well outa town or risk loosing everything that's not padlocked :-((

Rocks everywhere up that way as mainey says keep
well out.
Dont stray on any leases unless you let the holders know.

Hi Tol,
check out ;

or

Contact a local from a WA club and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

After your trip let me know how you got on, I will be heading that way myself in about a years time as I move around
the block and would love to spend some time looking for some cabinet specimens.

Although I won't be spending a great deal of time in the area I will take the opportunity to have a fossick or two. Will let you know how I get on about October.
Cheers, Tol.
