[QUOTE="karelian65, post: 556320, member: 9224"] Just a quick update, yes prospecting is allowed, so no changes there. Very easy to miss the entrance to the area, it is fenced in and looks like private property, no real signs to identify the area. Not gated at entrance. Use a digital map, even Google will do the job. Doing 100 k's per hour it is easy to miss. Google with Street View will give a good heads up on where to enter the area. Once inside the area you will know you are there when you see the big tree in the open area and the marker for the old school. Stay inside the fenced areas and you are all good, the historical area is bordered by private property. For updates Parks Victoria website is good, their own maps indicate that prospecting is permitted, just stay off the private land surrounding the area. Again be very careful with the unprotected mine shafts. Massive gold specimens found, ground is shallow on the hill, no way they got it all. Do your research, check the old Berlin Goldfield maps etc, lots of info from Flett, etc Again Parks Victoria Kooyoora Prospecting map covers the area. Check latest info etc, I keep a digital copy on my ipad so I can prospect with authority.. All the best. [/QUOTE]
