[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 640448, member: 4728"] Hi Booster I can recommend Brough-Smythe's Goldfields and Mineral Districts of Victoria as a good bedtime read if you can get a copy from your local library. I have the 1979 reprint version (not for loan) but there are later cheaper reprints that libraries might have for loan. If you can take a laptop to bed also consider a CD set purchasable from the Mines Dept. which had the old predigital mapping by the Geological survey of Victoria. It covered, Goldfield maps, geological quarter sheets, published and unpublished geological parish plans, and heaps of reading with the memoirs and bulletins of the survey. It was over a hundred dollars over twenty years ago but I am still pouring over it with the ability to zoom in on all the old often unreadable remarks on areas of interest. Maybe this may also be available from your library and possibly now on a card or flash drive. [/QUOTE]
