[QUOTE="brendomac, post: 440264, member: 7619"] Hey AM, Funny enough I was in Bendigo two weekends ago for work too! First time, I've been there. I found it a little confusing where to go. I rang the miners Den and they said to drop in and they would point out some places. They did say over the phone that it is better for detecting than for panning and that the creeks are pretty dry. I didn't have time to stop into the shop unfortunately, nor have a look at the local creeks, I was too busy (Damn work). So you might want to drop in to the shop... In the end, I decided to go to Reedy Creek at El Dorado on the way down (I drove to Bendigo). Near Beechworth. It's about 3 hours away from Bendigo on the way back to Sydney. It was a good spot, with plenty of fine gold. River was running nicely. So good for sluices etc. I would say 2wd accessible, I stayed in 2WD. Dunno about in the wet. If you have time I'd also recommend having a look at the dredge in Beechworth. It is a monster. Again, the main reason I chose where I went is that I was pretty much driving past it. If you are flying, your choices will be little different. Here is a link to Bendigo fossicking areas: [url]http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/636657/Bendigo-prospecting-map.pdf[/url] Here is a link to fossicking areas around Beechworth/ Eldorado: [url]http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/511802/Map-Chiltern-Mt-Pilot-National-Park-Prospecting-Guide.pdf[/url] Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
