[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 302602, member: 5873"] For Gold info.,...best $10.00 i spent was on "Loaming for Gold" by Sam Cash. For maps of areas, i use google earth, and Tully's maps. Selected areas on Doug Stone maps also used occasionally. For general history and in Vic, I enjoyed the James Flett book "The History of Gold Discovery in Victoria"... He also wrote a book titled "Dunolly" which is a more regional tome of historical info. One more worthy of a look imo, is "The Gold Fields and Mineral Districts of Victoria:"- Robert Brough Smyth Free PDF here;... [url]https://books.google.com.au/books?id=178OAAAAYAAJ&source=gbs_similarbooks[/url] Another book i have is..."GOLD: Forgotten Histories and Lost Objects of Australia" Read it online here;... [url]http://books.google.com.au/books?id=fkmHaXCq7YUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+History+of+Gold+Discovery+in+Victoria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrgLP5lM7RAhUFjZQKHXlYD2oQ6AEIKTAB#v=onepage&q&f=false]www.books.google.com.au/books?id=fkmHaXCq7YUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+History+of+Gold+Discovery+in+Victoria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrgLP5lM7RAhUFjZQKHXlYD2oQ6AEIKTAB#v=onepage&q&f=false[/url] Sorry for the long link :8 Other good reads i am yet to get to others will identify. ;) Gypsy [/QUOTE]
