Bendigo

Today we are in Bendigo and will probably stay for another night.I have been filling in time before the tour by going to the top for a walk around and panning for gold.I found some quartz with some gold and some fools gold. We went in a slow lift underground. we went 60 meters underground. There was a fast lift that went 3 meters a second. It was the lift that miners used 150 years ago.It faster but takes only 4 people. They use it every day.

I climbed to the top of this. 

This is me panning for gold.
I fond quartz with a bit of gold.

Can you see me at the top of the stair case?

This is me wearing my hard hat and beld with battary.

This is me and the tour guide. There were 19 people on the tour.

The rocks are held back by some wire and poles hammered in.
