    Mogo is also the site of temporary gold rushes - several times in recent years people have picked up nuggets on the unsealed side roads which triggers a rush of hopefuls - after all Mogo was a old Gold Rush town with 13 or so pubs. I remember when the owner of the general store wanted to sell up because there were too many customers after one find - yes, really, he had bought the place as something to keep him interested in his retirement.

    So, if you have a metal detector or a gold panning dish you could give prospecting a go. There is an unsealed road that runs to and along the Buckenbowra river which is quite nice and you could try fishing or panning in the middle bit.

    at south pambula there is a garden centre that has/had a junk/antique place as well (called oaklands) ... it had a lot of tools but i thought things were overpriced there as well ... has a couple of restored old trucks/utes in the yard

    My cousin has a long established antique shop in Sale ... I wonder if it
    is the one regarded as "expensive".
