[QUOTE="turps123, post: 136928, member: 1931"] Hi MJB, Yes there is colour in the Ovens river and the Barwidgee creek, but they are on the exempt rivers and streams list. In the early days these waterways were subject to hydraulic mining and did major damage to the area. Yes been up the Buckland a few times ( without luck), most of the mining in that area is hard rock mining, mainly by the Chinese ( read about the Buckland Riots). Although I have seen people panning the Buckland river. I have also heard of a young lad who detected a large nugget, but that was only hearsay. Regards Turps123 [/QUOTE]
