I used to get Brachipod fossils from Quidong 20kms SW of Bombala next to the Delegate River. There is also an old copper/gold mine there (chimney stack still standing). Actually saw a sample from the said location in the Natural History Museum in London (was chuffed).
 
stumbled across this post just now.. wow!!!! fossils so close to home. I gotta get the kids involved in this!

Hey Wal,

Cheers

Burrinjuck is currently at 72.7% and the recent snows will push that up a little.
 
@WalnLiz
Nice one! was wondering what area of Burrinjack Dam you were fishing at to find these?
 
Wow that's awesome. I live in Yass and go fishing out there just started my interest in panning and fossicking I will be on the hunt next time I am out there.

Cheers

Hi Heatho, thanks again. Ill give them a go. I guess the only other way would be to ask the land owners if i could have a look and dig on their land. :/
