Minelab, with the nationwide assistance of state organisations representing prospectors, compiled the first of its kind, economic report into prospecting within Australia.
With almost $1Billion in GDP and over 5500 full time jobs, governments would do well to remember our contribution to not only the economy, but to the social and mental health benefits many Australian families get from prospecting.

Any PMAV members who are ETU or union members? Tag or comment below and get along to the meeting.
Make sure you ask @ETU if they still donate over $100k to the Greens every year?As we all go into the Labour Day long weekend, just a reminder about the upcoming ETU Outdoor Recreation Advocacy night on Tuesday the 28th 5:00pm to 6:30pm at Arden Street.

Looks like there’s going to be a pretty big turnout. On the lead up to the meeting, we’re looking for ETU members to send in photos of themselves and their families, enjoying the great outdoors. It might be a photo of the sun setting on your favourite surf/fishing beach, or a drop net full to the brim with Yabbies, that smile on your son or daughter‘s face the first time they catch a fish, that four-wheel-drive rigged up for all occasions or the old faithful k9 that’s never let you down in the field…whatever it may be , let’s show everybody how we enjoy the outdoors on our RDOs and days off in a responsible, sustainable and regulated way.

Upload your photos in the comments below and on the night we will do a quick straw poll, the best photo wins some ETU merchandise. To start the ball rolling below is a picture of our current Secretary with a couple of crays caught free diving.

See you all on the 28th and enjoy your hard earned long weekend !!
