[QUOTE="xobazzip, post: 19884, member: 845"] I spent some time in the Warrambungles and discovered river washed pebbles half way up a mountain side indicating and old river bed. After going back for the binoculars I was able to spot the same situation on a number of surrounding hills so the whole area must have been an alluvial plain at some time and had since been eroded leaving hills etc now with valleys in between A bit more research with geological maps showed that I was on the right track. Just remember that this is an OLD COUNTRY and what you see today could or would have been shaped over millions of years so many deposits of alluvial gold may be deep below the surface but exposed on the sides of hills now [/QUOTE]
