[QUOTE="glot, post: 241011, member: 4100"] The Dee river at Mount Morgan isn't full of mercury and other chemicals. It has a low pH due to the sulfuric acid from the pyrites in the tailings. It also has low levels of arsenic. Do not swim in it as it can cause skin irritations. The water is used for irrigation down stream. It is one of the few water courses around the district that has water in it year round. Plenty of very fine (100 -200 mesh) gold. It's an easily accessible spot to take the kids for a pan. Check out Qld Globe to see where you are allowed to go. Very few gems around this area. Some translucent red and black Obsidian from west of Westwood. The majority of land holders are okay with you going on their property IF YOU TALK TO THEM FIRST! Theft is their biggest worry along with spreading of noxious weeds. [/QUOTE]
