Part I of the W2E Challenge, a 6,000km journey across the centre of Australia
The Bailey Australia West 2 East Challenge started at the most westerly point of the country, Denham in Western Australia, on 21st August 2015 and the team then travelled eastwards through the centre of the country arriving at the most easterly point, Byron Bay in New South Wales, 14 days later on 3rd September 2015. This extreme challenge took the caravans through some of the most remote parts of Australia passing iconic Outback locations such as Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and Birdsville in Queensland, travelling over approximately 2,200 kilometres of gravel, dirt and corrugated roads in the process.
The vehicles used on the challenge were the first two Bailey Rangefinder models to be built in Australia. Bailey caravans were introduced into Australia five years ago and until now have been modified versions of those found in the UK* (from the current Pursuit, Pegasus and Unicorn ranges). However, following the formation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bailey Leisure Pty Ltd, earlier this year, the next phase of the company’s expansion plan is to begin assembling caravans in Melbourne using a combination of British and Australian production and design expertise to develop models specifically tailored to the Australian audience.
The Bailey Rangefinder range will initially consist of three models and will be launched at the Melbourne Leisurefest show which runs from 8th – 11th October. For product information please visit the Bailey Australia web site at baileyaustralia.com

The little town of Spruce Pine, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway is known all over the United States for many of its exports, but one thing still remains is the abundance and hunt for precious gem stones.

Now Ill explain the buckets to youones on the wall back here are all $20 dollar buckets. They have one kind in themwhatever the sign says is what youll find in that particular bucket. The next one is a $50 dollar mixed bucketthe next is an $80 bucketit has some of all this in itand that we cut one stone for you for free. Now the 125 bucket we cut two stones for free so what you need to do is decide what you want to look through and let us know and well het you set up and going.
Then all the action takes place under the covered gem stone flumes where your mission is to discover and identify beautiful and valued gem stones. First just place a scoop of rough material on the screen and use the flume water to sift out the dirt, sand, and rock to reveal precious gem stones. There is even a chart next to you to refer to and help you identify what gemstones to look for.
