there were a couple of gold mines at Cracow in Qld as well. A bloke I know got quite a bit of gold from the old cyanide pit at one of them. Not the sort of spot I would like to be digging in.
 
And from southern Nsw/ snowy mountains, Kiandra, Moonbah, Cooma, Numeralla, Delegate, Dalgety, Greymare, Adelong, Wee Jasper, Tumbarumba, Tumut, Michelago, Bredbo, Yambulla, south coast, Thredbo valley, etc. I'd love to see a photo library of what the gold from each locale looks like for comparison

Candello (Tantawangello,)

What about Gloucester and Barrington Tops areas? Has gold ever been found there?

Hi undertaker,
The answer to your question is YES; do some research on the area and you will be surprised what you will find, a real education and very interesting.
Cheers, SinHof.

Thanks a lot for that list.

Im just getting into this hobby. Live in Geelong and looking for close area's (time limited) to hit for a few hours when I haven't got the kids...

Jim - You might try stieglitz or Bacchus Marsh. plenty of pretty yellow stuff there. Spread quite thinly unfortunately, but I have never gone home empty handed entirely.

Cheer, Len
 
Also around Coffs Harbour to Glenn Innes in the northern rivers. Still gold there too in nsw

There is gold in Barrington tops apparently and even a mine you can do a tour of but the whole area is a no go for panning as far as I know.
 
The road signs pointing to Avoca (Vic) appear to have a "do" added at the end, so I think they've changed the town name to "Avocado"? You may want to correct your list :)
There's also Rushworth, Whroo (ghost-town with Balaclava Mine), Heathcote, Maldon, Creswick, St Arnaud, Bealiba, Talbot, Tarnagulla, Inglewood, Irishtown, Kingower, Fryerstown, Daylesford, Trentham etc
 
A few more for SE QLD area With Warwick, and Pratten being said already Stanthorpe, Pikedale, Palgrave, Karara, Leyburn, Thane.
 
Has anyone tried the Roxby downs area? There is already mines and they get gold silver copper and uranium from them.
