Gday johnb im in that area alot and planning some trips in the near future around that gippsland. Me and the misses have some equipment and a 4x4 and would be happy to join you on one of your next outings.

Does anybody out there have a list of streams and rivers that you are allowed to prospect and pan in???

Is donnelly creek on the exclusion list or the exempt from exclusion list? If its on the exempt list then prospecting is allowed.

I heard the fire cheif disappeared with a young lady of ill repute from strathbogie... Mustve fallen down a different shaft... Many times by the sounds of things. But the horse was never seen again..... :)

Ive heard donnellys creek on the other side of the thompson is another good spot to check out after a good rain. Definately a weekend trip. :)

Worth a drive once the rain eases up.
