You might do better with backpackers. I think anyone wanting to travel from QLD to Vic for a prospecting holiday would already have plans sorted, I don't like your chances but you never can tell.

Not quite sure what this about.
Are you offering services?
Are you offering transport?

Cheers HH

Not sure 3 days would be a dream holiday but a road trip with the wrong bloke could turn into a nightmare

Mate, sounds like you are organised so maybe best if you stick to going by yourself, odds are that would be less hassle than having a stranger/sidekick along for the ride.
Good luck with the plan & travel safe.

Thanks guys I have been prospecting Queensland and Nsw since 1993 for topaz and sapphires and now doing gold also last 3 years I now regularly prospect Tasmania 2 to 3 times a year as have family beach house in South arm Hobart. Funny thing guys don't get is that Tasmania was once joined to Victoria and there good gold north east Tasmania even on the beach prospecting and perfect for smaller coils gold monsters and SDC. But this time on way home to Brisbane I am stopping in to Victoria Bendigo gold areas for few days my first time trying Victoria so only stopping in to sample a few spots . But thanks guys i will enjoy my trip

Yes Ward69 my first time trying Victoria was great creswick Ballarat was beautiful green moss everywhere big quarts everywhere creek was running was hard prospecting with my 8 month old blue heeler which after a day was over it she hated the cold and rain . We travelled from Brisbane to Narrabri then to Lake Talbot then to Melbourne then over ferry to Tassie for week then back over to Ballarat she wasn't cold till Ballarat lol great prospecting place Creswick 2 days staying at great dog friendly motel called Woodmans hill motel in Ballarat before dog and I drove back from Ballarat to Dubbo few hours sleep in car then from Dubbo to Brisbane long journey but great adventure

Sounds like an amazing trip goldinbrisbane! Hope you struck it lucky during your travels. Please give dog a pat for us!

Just out of curiosity, what did you think of the Victorian gold fields? How do they compare with Queensland?

Gday Panny. I can give you my amazing account on Queensland vs Victoria After learning all about prospecting at Karara for 18 months vs lived in Ballarat for 50years Now applying that learning to Ballarat. You can still find gold at both places. Its all about researching and more researching, reading the ground, water is the key.

 

[goldinbrisbane]

I enjoyed the Ballarat creswick areas there is great gold there the Creek has water and as ward69 said I also prospect karara and thanes Warwick area mostly but very dry is hard to get gold when dry. But I looked at Bendigo and decided on creswick Ballarat better ground I thought

 

[goldinbrisbane]

PANNY IT WAS because of your video at slaty creek that I tired slaty creek as you man sent me info so and liked the area compared to Bendigo but I enjoyed Ballarat my poor puppy didn't like the cold water was hard doing it while holding a dog leash but it was her first trip stayed at woodmans hill motel was pet friendly and nice place

 

[Panny McGee]

Goldinbrisbane: Aww poor puppy! She's not the only one who finds the water cold at Slaty either! Hope she recovered quickly though..

Awesome to hear that our videos were so inspiring! Thanks so much for the feedback I'm glad you got the chance to go there in person and check it out for yourself. Its such a beautiful area and has always been our favourite place to hone our panning skills, to learn about the area while exploring.

Ward69:
Would love to hear about your experiences in both areas, and I agree, it's definitely all about the research. We're still learning how to prospect and really appreciate any and all advice. One of the other things I really love about this lifestyle is the fact that the community involved is so happy to share info and advice.

I also love learning about the history of these amazing places and the way things were done so many years ago.

Keep watch out for two blokes stuffing around in the bush . Topic. Its not all about the gold , but how they live, when I come back , theres a lot more photos and videos. Theres so much to learn, by ready the ground
