Flood gold information and questions

It's flooding down here in Goulburn at the moment, and I think its a similar story elsewhere in NSW as well. I hope everybody stays safe and the floods produce lots of new flood gold for us all!!!

so if i camp 20 feet from the river this week i might wake up and find my tent drifting off the coast of Tasmania ?

certainly cheaper than a cruise ship

i have heard that in the top end you can get flash floods in a dry zone that hasnt seen rain for ages , but the flood has come from a storm 10 miles away 8)

Its been pouring here for 4 days.... I have a pond outside my front door now Just wish there was some gold in the garden to highbank

Hay Ian,
Just throw the contents of your snuffer on the lawn, then you'll have something to highbank

Any news on the river height at Oallen?

Cheers

Hey guys you are going to give me bad ideas
Mick I have seen the river as high as 7-10m reported in a few places and others saying about 5 and holding, though now a lot of it seems to be talking about down river past Nowra, may have to take the son for a drive and have a look what its like here.

i was going to ask if anyone had been down for a look at its highest . might give us ideas about the behaviour of its passengers

take a camera ?

best wishes

There was a flood warning issued for the Shoalhaven, but apparently the waters are receeding now...time to head out to Oallen i guess

Have not been to the ford recently to look at the river (was just going to check a little closer to home today) but do have a few photos of flooding a little while back.

Wouldn't have needed much lay flat hose on that day mate. Jet ski might have been handy though.

Cheers Wal,

Bedrock dreams has two posts up so far in a series about high point gold - gold deposited during really big floods. Worth thinking about in my opinion.

Yep makes sense, your gonna potentially find a lot more in places less frequently considered, and hopefully a lot bigger. Interesting article.

A local historian showed me a gravel deposit 20m up a gully..1910 flood...its been long covered by dirt and grass 2foot deep. Its real hard on the pick once you get to it? I covered it back up saving it for a future adventure...good thread DD.

Thanks for the post

Very very interesting considering where i'm working at the moment.......Time to start looking up

Part 3 is now up, and has some interesting advice in it.

Thanks Dr Duck, just another learning opportunity.

These are a great read! And I need to have a better look at what I have been doing...

The final post in this series now up, and has a good summary of searching for high point gold.
