Some GPA areas in Clermont.

Hi 6foot6, Clermont has some public areas. Not sure if that's too far for you.

Hi Wes, I'm also a newbie to the forum & prospecting. I know you are looking for someone more experienced. But I live in Hervey bay & am keen to give this hobby a go (panning & crevicing) if you don't find anyone let me know and perhaps we can organize a day out together.

Thanks 7.62 marksman. Great map. I hope this isn't too silly a question, but how do I work out what is a "go & a no go area". Do I drive to one of the dollar signs, find a creek, park my car & start crevicing or is that frowned upon. I've watched videos where people are in rivers/creeks...

As a newbie this is a great resource. Thanks.

Hi all, I am new on this forum and to prospecting. I have recently relocated to Hervey bay. This has probably been covered in previous posts, but apart from Deep Creek is there anywhere else to crevice around a 400km radius from the Bay.
