[QUOTE="JamesAndVash, post: 360226, member: 10064"] Hi all, Am planning a trip next weekend down from the Central Coast. We've been to Black Springs a few times and have worked out where the good diggings are. Hard work but rewarding enough for beginners. Thing is the missus wants to see somewhere new, so we're thinking Grabben Gullen might be the go. I've done a bit of reading on here and it looks like the creek has been treated pretty poorly go over the last couple of years, people undercutting banks, upsetting the locals and generally being disrespectful. We just have one set of sieves and a couple of hand tools but I'd rather not be part of the problem if fossicking has indeed become problematic there. So before I head there I was hoping people could answer a couple of questions for us. 1.) how degraded is it really - should it just be left alone? 2.) are there still decent stones to be had or is it mostly worked out? 3.) should I try my luck asking to be invited onto private property? We can move up and down the creek bed without actually tresspassing, right? Any other tips on where to work? 4.) unrelated, does anyone know how much water is likely to be in the creek at the moment - has been very dry the last few months up our way. Cheers, James [/QUOTE]
