Udo's Wake Details

Murchison Prospecting Atlas Released

In an email last year after my friend and business partner Udo passed away I said I would advise when his wake was.

Some people were interested in attending it.

His family are spreading Udo's Ashes on his Lease - the lease that he loved in Mindoolah/Madoonga and possibly many of you have done our seminars have even detected there in the past.

I know some unscrupulous people even have detected illegally there using Udo's friendship and generosity to find gold nuggets without permission or sharing the finds - but you know what Udo would say "Let it Develop".

I'll Never forget a story Michael (Udo's Brother) told me of Udo when he was working out on his lease.

A carload of detectorists turned up with a mudmap of Udo's Block telling him it was a great place to go detecting - their mates had told them about it. Also, as Udo would say "Sheeeesh!"

Anyway the spreading of Udo's Ashes will be on 1 October on his Lease by his Family.

Ring his sister Linda if you need more information but it is mainly a family, friends and locals affair. 0424475775

Bill,

p.s. I still reckon there is plenty of gold left - I just got the Minelab 2000 and will be trying it as soon as I can go bush. Right now my wife Sue is very ill so I am locked in here at home until she gets better.
