Yes Ted I know Pete has had many sleepless night over this and pete yes there is a big chance that the details of the find are ass about . I do have a few book and note's of his and watch anything that come up about it but like you do you have to get out there if you want to get closure to the find so I have a idear we get out there and we get the olders camel we can find now you ask why would you want a old camel ? well we can't torture the dead and we know the only other one's that were there were camels so we get the camel and we torture him to tell us were the location was as they would know after all these year the camels would of been telling there side of the story to the mate's for years as they walk around the outback so we can't give him the water torture as he has lots of his own so we slap him about and yes he will spit on us so I get a Menu from Footsray from a chince restaurant and show him whats on the menu (Camel stew) and make him take us there to the find. What do you think good Idear or what this will mean I get a bigger cut like 70% is that ok. PS: By the way it been a couple of hot days here and you can only drink so much till all the #@%$&*#$%@ come out. David |

Old camels, I like David. We'll bring Abdul along with us and he can threaten to "brick 'em" if they don't lead on? 70% of sweet FA sounds pretty reasonable. Jokes aside it has crossed my mind why at the time Blakey etc didn't back track from where Lasseter lost his camels and the fact no one ever found the camel packs that they threw off before they finally walked back to their holding yards? Wouldn't you think they would have wanted to see if there was any evidence in his (Lasseters) belongings? Anyway I'll sleep on how to torture an old camel. Cheers Peter |

HI all This is my first post on this forum so be patient I am busy working on a Lasseter display for a PMAV day at Bummumwaal here in Vic next March and as part of the display there will be available a Secret Map showing where Lasseters Reef is. It is still very much a work in progress but it will get done eventually. It will of course be completely accurate and show exactly where to look for the fictional reef. Some of the artwork for the map has already been prepared but as it is in A3 format I can't scan it at present. I may even produce several versions of the map so as to cover all possible locations. But like I said it is still very much a work in progress. I have collected most of the books and several other interesting items relating to the Lasseter story but if anyone has any ideas for the display I would be very interested to hear from them. Cheers Steve D |

Hi Steve, Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to see this 'Secret Map' as I'm sure Peter is as he has done a lot of research himself into the subject. Cheers Ted |

Ha Pete What happen to this chap who said he discoved the lost reef "Bulging with Gold" which was Harold Lasseter. EL 23414 CR2006-0397 Exploration Licence 23414 was granted to Frankelfield for a six year term commencing 27 June 2003. It is located in the Haasts Bluff Aboriginal Reserve approximately 450 km west of Alice Springs. In June 2005 EL 23414 was reduced in area to 201 one minute square graticular blocks (631 sqkm). In June 2006 it was further reduced to 100 blocks. During the first year, exploration work was conducted by Tanami Gold NL under the terms of the Kintore Joint Venture. Tanami withdrew from the Joint Venture at the beginning of the second year. ![]() Now I think I know were it is or was so I better get out there before Pete gets it all. ![]() David Edited by detrackozi, Thursday 12-11-2009, 18:10.

Regards, John. |
