gcause said:Hey Brother,
Is it still open to prospecting?
When I was up in Cairns I heard it had sold and the new owners shut the gate on prospectors. Any updates on that?
It was one spot I wanted to get to but never did because of that. I went out to the Tyrconnel gold mine a couple of times instead which is on part of Mount Mulligan station.
I heard that Tyrconnel had changed hands also just before I left Cairns at the end of December. Any updates on that?
Cheers,
Grant

I am more amazed at the number of people who don't seem to do any research and just draw on those who have been there before them. For me - half the fun has been doing all the investigations necessary. I'm off to Georgetown area in three days .. here's hoping!!!!

For those members interested in "Prospecting for Gold" in North Queensland, here is some information that may make planning any trip a little easier.
Located around Georegtown "Etheridge Shire" there are a number of properties that members of the public can access for the purposes of metal detecting & camping.
Access to these properties is by pay to detect, contact the owners for current pricing.
those are as follows,
"Western Creek Station" - Which is located about 20 km South of Georgetown, operated by Shirley Young & Geoff Brown, this is a working cattle property & has only been open to the detecting public since May 2014 so it is relatively untouched, there was some good finds here since opening.
There is a designated camping area which is huge & has toilets & hot showers for campers.
"Flat Creek Station" - Is located a further 13km South West of Western Creek on the same road, this is also a working cattle property run by Peter Henry, it has been open for quite some time but still produce good gold, there are toilets & hot showers at the designated camping area.
"Dells Hole Station" - Is located South West of Forsayth & is run by Kevin Young, this is also an operating cattle property, this property has been open to the public since 2011, there are no facilities at the camp, so you need to take in all water.
I will continue to add information here in the next week.
cheers
