In this whirlwind edition the GO bro's are so sick of chasing potch that they have a smash at pillarbashing only to be reminded of how generally unrewarding crawling around on their guts and finding next to nothing can be..
After staring into the eternal mulga flames over a Coopers Stout, the boys decide to help out a mate who needs a new mine opened up, in which Butch buries and loses the last 10 feet of wire rope ladder 62 feet underground, and emerges with eyeballs full of opal, or maybe just dirt..
In the dying days of the adventure, the boys head down an old haunt to scratch up a footlong vertical of potch and colour that sees pretty good wages for the trip, til nektime!

I may be across the Tasman however, I'm all the more grateful that the usually pretty crap youtube algorithm managed to direct me to this channel. How could this woman from Aotearoa/New Zealand not subscribe to such great content? Cheers.

Boy there sure isn't much plant life out there to forage on if one needed to live off the land. Wonder what edible wild plants there are there? I used to love to go foraging before becoming disabled. Plants are usually plentiful here in the South of the USA though. But we don't have quality opal here! Nothing like in Australia! Wow that looks so dangerous and scary...and now we see why opal is so expensive! I'd be wearing me some goggles and mask to beat the dust...I can't imagine how they can tolerate all that dust and dirt. Not to mention miners can get silicosis, a lung disease. Blessings for the opal miners to soon come to an agreement and get all the new paperwork done that they now need so that opal mining can resume!

Thank you for watching! We have Aṉangu friends who we have gone out bush with over the years and found bush bananas, quongdongs, and tea tree which is good for all sorts of ailments.

Thanks mate! These days the hard work is almost as good as opal, especially in contrast to sitting at a desk in the city! Yeah, that cave in would not have been a good look, squashed people and stuff lol..
