[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 135811, member: 4430"] I also lived in Wodonga for nearly 10 years and worked within a couple of kms (as the crow flies) from Yack. Plus Yack is where my fathers family lived originally, the graveyard is full of them and as kids we always were told yarns about looking for gold in the area. Back to basics, the Yack creek is on the exempt list, so no working of it close to town, but I believe that there is an area upstream, where you can do some basic prospecting on a tributary. There have been reports of some of this creating damage that was causing the locals some grief. Likely that some of the other tributaries are also possible places to have a play. Like most gold bearing country in the east of the state, most of the gold is likely to be fine, so may not be suitable for using a detector. Having said that I will likely go there for a "play" sometime in the next year or so as I still have relatives in the area, so would be interested in your experience, if you do give it a go. Edit: I cross posts with GD and I forgot, Yack has a PMAV branch, so get in touch with them for extra details (noreastbranch@pmav.org.au). Rob [/QUOTE]
