an old quartz mine used as a swimming hole

Willem, Pine creek still has old mines filled with water but are fenced off as they are fill of heavey metals, and some have so called radioactive waste which has also leaked into the water, which has made camping on old minning areas a nono. You can still see these mines as a tourist thing from a distance, but thats about it . Col

So, where ya been Kiwicol?

I should have said that I understand that that mine is now fenced off but we used to swim there to no ill affect. But that was a long time ago.

Youve forgotten the development of your third testicle already Willem ????

Yerrr thats the sad thing about Darwin and environs these days. All our old favourite haunts are now fenced off. Last year on my way back south from a visit up there I decided to camp at an old favourite about 5km east off the highway on the Fergusson River. Bugger me if it isn't fenced off now with No Entry etc Private Property signs up everywhere. Managed to find a spot under the new railway bridge on the Edith River. 'Twas nice and quiet there until a train came by at 4am....lol
