Where does this fossicking video in North-Eastern Tasmania take place specifically?
I live in the local area and would like to have a hunt in this tin field.
I've scoured using LIDAR and nowhere really fits this specific location.
What I know from the video.
- Old tin field from late 19th/ early 20th century.
- Bush is fairly dry and sparse turning me away from the popular fossicking areas like Weld, Main Creek and Cascade River.
- They enter from the North/North East based on sun position. Presuming they arrive in the morning.
- They park at a junction with a road branching off to the South/ South East.
- They cross a small water race heading downhill and then follow a larger water race.
- The bulk of the day is spent going upstream heading North on a creekbed that has been carved out by the old timers. There are very few creeks that run South in this area due to most shedding from the Blue Tier into the Ringarooma to the North.
- They appear to end the day in waning light turning North West to the top of the hill where there are some old reservoirs.
- I am after the specific creek/water race. Tin fields were largely isolated to the Blue Tier/Mount Cameron area with some outliers in Branxholm, St Helens and Further south around Rossarden.
