July 22, 2014 by Tom Bentley5 Comments

Gold Mining and a Visit to Minelab’s Headquarters, Adelaide South Australia

June 18, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

One of my passions is gold prospecting, or as it is referred to in Australia, Fossicking. It is a healthy hobby as long as you don't get to obsessed with making money from it! I can remember going out with my father from a young age to explore some of his favorite mining terrain in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. With all the trips we have made I am fairly certain we have spent more time and money on logistics and equipment … [Read more...]

May 1, 2014 by Dave1 Comment

Swaziland is the smallest country in the Southern Hemisphere - but small does not mean "little to do and see".

Remnants of the oldest living organism on the planet have been found in the country - blue green algae dating back 3.5 billion years ago, a mere billion years … [Read more...]

The Luxurious MGM Grand, Las Vegas

October 22, 2013 by Virginia TseLeave a Comment

As a guest of the MGM PR team I was in Las Vegas to cover the iHeartRadio Festival and a number of related activities. I stayed at the MGM Grand for 3 nights. MGM Grand exceeded my expectations.
