Tony Fawdon - History of Tin Mining in Stanthorpe

Tony is going to introduce us tonight, to a side of Stanthorpe that most of us our unaware of.

Tony has been exploring for minerals in the Granite Belt and Traprock for the last 11 years, he also with his family have been farming at Severlea for the last 28 years.

And nobody is better qualified to tell us the story, 50 years in exploration in Australasia, a bunch of marvellous discoveries notched on the handle of his geological hammer, currently Chairman of StanAurum Limited, a company who is actively prospecting for tin, tungsten and critical minerals in the Granite Belt.

Shakey Nan – Service Impact and Awareness that makes a difference!

Help Shakey Nan spread the ET word!

I started in Dec 2020, first with a personal blog on Facebook called Shakey Nan, to show how I live with ET so I can get my confidence back and stop hiding away. I had my own shirts made to help me spread the word about Shakey Nan, so people will watch and learn about ET. Now I'm on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok too, and I am helping other ETers around the world to not feel so alone with this condition.

Every day, I am still finding new ETers or someone who knows someone and even some who are just curious and want to learn more about ET, which is fantastic. 

On Tuesdays, I post a video on my pages, which are :

Facebook - Shakey Nan 

Youtube - Essential Tremor - Shakey Nan

Tiktok - Shakey Nan Essential Tremor

Intagram - Shakey Nan _ Essential Tremor 

I also do lives on TikTok nearly every day, twice a day, at Midday and at 8.30 pm (Sydney, Australia time)

On my TikTok lives, I have been building DIY Miniature Houses, and I love it. They are like mini extreme Ikea kits where you have to build everything from wood, wire, fabrics, little beads, etc, and YES, even with my shakey hands I CAN DO IT! You can do anything too, don't ever give up finding your ET way to do it..

I hope you will help me spread the ET word so we can all come out of hiding and get our lives back.
