[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 583762, member: 1375"] The areas with the dots are known historical gold workings, or try Aust Geology (trilobite), the areas within the red areas are known gold workings. Although these show some of the historic areas they are by no means complete and many diggings can be found in other areas .... they're a 'guide' only. It also shows details of mines within the area but I've eliminated them to make it a bit easier to read/interpret. Of course if there's a creek 'downstream' of any of these areas gold may have been washed along them away from the immediate 'diggings' area. A friend puts together goldfields maps of various regions, think there's one that covers your area ..... look up GoldMapsOnline should get you there, there's a free version of the Ballarat goldfields so you can see what info it provides, much of the info is available from other sites but being lazy I enjoy having the info on hand from one source (and in my opinion better than the Tryhard Prospecting map sets. ( It will set you back $30 annually, for me a small price for the convenience). Cheers T.
