[QUOTE="Guest, post: 136347"] Wallaby mine was clossed for rehab' apparently! But never reopened' "as far as I know" I think you will find it has something to do with the town water supply. The dam is fenced off in a sort of roundabout way' but if you saw this dam you wouldn't go anywhere near it let alone drink from it. 200m up from the junction the creek is overgrown with scrubs and blackberries so access is close to none if any at all, the area from the junction to the water supply dam is old hydrolic sluice workings so... If you have a good way of sorting through large cobble stones to fill your pockets with mining trash good luck! The sections of the 9 mile are just plain hard work' I was camping up that way one week and we had a huge storm for 2 days well' I got some good photos of the creek flow and went back that summer and did samples of likely spots compared to the half dozen photo I took well I did find a few nice flakes but hard work shifting all that creek stone and haven't been back since. I have sent a few forum members to a area there that always showed colour but I never heard how they went... So if they would care to post up how they did last year that might help you guys out. My advice "enjoy Eldorado" and don't forget the goggles and snorkel... There's plenty of hard to reach areas just waiting for you! [/QUOTE]
