	My flyspeck of a house is within 20 minutes of areas that can be called the Outback. I take my dog for a walk every day in bushland near our house where he encounters creatures of all description believing I put them there for his enjoyment. For the most part, they go on in peace after he sniffs them but occasionally they take exception to his very presence and he comes back to tell me all about it. The Australian Outback is just too huge a place to say something like, "He's in the Outback," and having the other person understand where he is. Here, we say, "He's going out to Bendigo." The reply? "Outback?" The answer. "Yep, until he gets tired and comes to town."

Nice picture GD.......Looks like Pooch has found something of interest.

	GoldDigger, Another cool dog! What a great playground - while those plants are probably so ordinary to you, I think they are pretty nifty. I can see why you call it bushland. It's hard for me to imagine a great expanse of land without small towns and convenience stores here and there. I'm with you, John, as I think it would be interesting to see the natural undeveloped areas, too. Sue

Thanks. He's my best treasure hunting buddy. So far, he's never told a living soul where I found my last cache.

In this pic, he's looking at a blue tongued lizard that just vanished into the grass tree and thinking he can find it. The grass tree is that stuff that looks like really tough grass behind him. What you see there are a few juvenile grass trees which are less that a foot tall. The grass top is much higher than the stalk at that point in its life cycle. In two years, the stalk will be tall and black in color. The second picture is of a grass tree that is mature enough to have a black trunk. They grow to be as tall as 20 feet or so and develop long spears of a flower when they bloom. I'll take a picture of the next one I see like that.

MountainDweller, that's an awesome (or maybe Aus-some) nugget in the pan.  You and GD both have a couple of fine looking companions......Me, I wouldn't trust either of my current dogs.  Both of them would probably want to investigate the rattling noise behind the bush.

Hi all,  Sue re: #4, yep the gold did come from the river/ stream in the dog pic, it's called the Turon river,
I live smack bang in an old gold digging area, hence the abundance of relic and coin hunting areas.
GD, great pic of your "buddy', and yep we've got the same problems here with 1080, absoloutely awful stuff, my neighbour recently lost his dog , no antidote, a very sad day...

On a happier note , it's finally raining here, time to get out in the hills and find some treasures.

Cheers  steve
