Been a lot off years since I been there but see if u can still get into jorden creek about 25 k s.w Innisfail. good detecting. Done some good panning in small creeks around Mila Mila

 

[palmerston]

Is there anywhere u can look up maps with mines on them got a few old ones tryin to line em up with newer ones and do u no much of the crankie Annie mine in there can't seem to find any info on it

Mulgrave river you can always get colour in your pan.

 

[palmerston]

yer no plenty spots to get colour in the pan but only found a few spots were u get any weighable amounts is the mulgarave np or state forest

 

[itsdw]

depends on where u are on the mulgrave

 

[palmerston]

yer righto cant say iv looked into that area.does the old road that comes down from boonjie scrub/malanda way bring u out on the mulgrave?

 

[itsdw]

Yes. But that road is barely walkable. And goes through private land and claims.

 

[palmerston]

thought it was a gazetted rd

 

[itsdw]

Technically. Yes. I think it is. But. At rhe bottom end is a farm you have to drive through. Amd they arent friendly.
