[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 582389, member: 4485"] IMO from Sydney either Sofala or Hill End would be the best options where you should at least get some specs of gold in the pan. While the Doug Stone maps aren't 100% accurate & don't always show areas that may need further permission from lease holders etc. they are ok for both those areas. Sofala has a number of areas that you can access + camp but there are minimal facilities. Green Point is the only area that I know that has drop toilets but no showers. The others you need to be self sufficient. Some good areas for panning around Little Wallaby Rocks/New Zealand Point (Mining Lease on New Zealand Point but still Turon River access), Bathurst Point, Lucky Point, Maitland Point, Ration Point. You can do a bit of detecting around those spots & on Insolvent Hill. The Hill End Common is a large area & there are numerous areas to detect or pan. Around Tambaroora fossicking area is probably the best option to start out with & there are also a couple of blokes out there who offer panning tours/lessons which can be worthwhile.
