[QUOTE="Mike Harding, post: 366396, member: 11269"] I guess you have already made the decision but if you're still around.... The area you mention is just west of the Bacchus Marsh to Gisborne Road about 11km north of Bacchus Marsh and is in the Lerderderg State Park. In general it is prohibited to prospect in State and National Parks (NB There are many exceptions to this rule - talk to Parks Victoria) however the Vic government recently opened up some of the Lerderderg SP to prospecting but I understand most of the new land does not hold gold. Parks Vic have published a map - Google VEAC Prospecting%20_Maps_B-G.pdf it doesn't show the area you describe instead it talks about "Recommended prospecting areas" which translates to "The places we don't much care about where we'd like to shove all the nasty people who dig holes in our park". You could try the Forest Explorer mapping software to see if it has a prospecting layer but I'm almost certain it doesn't. Otherwise give Parks Vic a call and ask them, they should know - phone 13 1963. [/QUOTE]
