REALLY GOOD WEATHER PERMITTING / RISK ASSESSMENT permitting
M- of these the Mathinna location looks the most promising! *(Mount Lyell, Queenstown area is rich in minerals/metals but 3.5 hrs from Hobart)
Nancy and Maria - ALL THESE ABOVE 4 hour drive at least there and more of an over night thing - SO UNLESS WE SPENT both days its probably too far
*Maria and Nancy will LOCK THESE INTO schedule AFTER we do a RISK ASSESSMENT over the coming weeks*
NB: we don't have autobahns/ very rough roads in comparison to EUROPEAN standards | Weather is also very sketchy.
RISK ASSESSMENT will take place via Maria and in consultaition with geo-expert and Jason Thursday 06 AUGUST
Plan to head to Avoca and if going is good on to Mathinna!

- voltaic pits - 2 pits filled with mine water && recovered ores from field trip → at Plimsoll spawn various electrolytic-chemical excitations with collected materials *(Nancy: can we use eg. the garden area near Plimsoll patio doors for digging?)* * discussing with Maria - she thinks there may be a little alleyway just near there that might be possible since we can probe courtyard but not too much relandscaping *
- voltaic rock piles (see images)
- diy kiln smelting - for processing collected fieldtrip rocks - ie. metallic ores cf. Mathinna
