[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 140777, member: 2152"] I didn't find anything while I was there but others have made some gains in the creek that runs through town, just below the bridge near the caravan park as you go through town. There's obvious gravel bars and a rock lined drop off. It's literally in the middle of town just a fraction downstream of the suspension walking bridge. Downstream you will find the hillsides had large gold operations and the local community has preserved the site and done an amazing job of amenities and signage. Here is a pic of the entrance [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2152/1426285655_img_20141223_210313.jpg[/img] I have it on good authority upstream of the bridge can be good, access can be sort from the road running down from the toll freight yard. Might pay to have a chat to the locals there's and old building with a derelict sign for prospecting tours so there must have been interest at one point. I was there only briefly I went in the adelong river from downstream of the bridge behind a heap of the locals fence lines in waders I must have put in 50 sample holes/pans for nought. I'm sure the flooding the place received in recent years has alot to do with how hard it is to find but I wish you luck. Perhaps others can give some more advice but all the same a nice little town and there definitely is gold there even if I didn't get lucky. [/QUOTE]
