[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 673066, member: 4728"] Yarra holds good gold and found my first about 60 years ago near "The Island" area during a long drought when the Yarra was very low. Standing in waist deep water and shoveling bottom gravels into a pan held underwater, I was getting really nice gold (lots of black sand too). My first "Bonanza" was cut short though when I lost grip of my gold pan and it floated away downstream never to be seen again. By the time I had an opportunity to get back to the spot the rains had come and river levels had risen. Just not sure about legal panning access to that area now. Attended a demonstration of a small (2") gold dredge in the Reedy Creek mentioned. Got a few colours but the creek seemed quite small and maybe had been well worked. [/QUOTE]
