I took the family out to Wuruma dam passing through all the gold hot spots..Degilbo...Biggenden...Gaydah...Eidsvold hard country for the early miners very dry....i took my pan but didnt test any spots i was having more fun spotting all the old diggings along the roads went for plenty of bush walks finding old mines/tailings. They still stand out like dogs balls...
Spent four days out there then stopped in to Paradise dam where the old gold town paradise was flooded found the diggings and mines on the eastern side....seriously tough ground there sedimentary rock. Biggest worry for me wasnt the 38c heat through out our trip but was the ants!!! And i mean Ants they all bite out there....take stingos with ya ...best $10i spent.... plus drinking water was tough to find.
I found some spots closer to home i will try next winter.
