Best place to find Darwin Glass?

Postby L_Cham_67 » Wed 05 Apr, 2017 3:35 pm

A friend and I are heading to the West Coast for a few days around Easter, while we have some time off uni and Tafe. We're gonna do various walks depending on the weather, but we're curious to know where the best place to find Darwin Glass is. I've read that it can be found on the side of the road in to Darwin Crater, while I've also heard some people have had to dig around for it. Anyone know?

Thanks

You might get lucky and find some on the side of the road but within Darwin Crater you would probably be digging for it (Either way you should be leaving it there as you are either in a Regional Reserve or The Wild Rivers National Park)

Ah okay, I knew you weren't allowed to take it if it was located in a National Park, but I didn't realise the same applied for a Regional Reserve. Thanks though :)

Its a bit of a grey area in regional reserves given they could also have mining in them!
