[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 462665, member: 4386"] Which Wombat Creek? You can sieve the gravel for crystals near Ruffy at a spot called the Boat Hole (a few hundred metres down stream from the bridge across the Hughes Creek). Small crystals can been found in the sand along the Hughes Creek at Bungle Boorie. During WW2 quartz crystals were mined in granite near Wedderburn (from memory) - Mt Kooyoora????. I have not seen this locality mentioned for years but presumably they were large enough for use in frequency modulators. Quartz crystals are found in geodes near Mooralla in the Grampians (well known and popular). I used to find decent crystals many decades ago when skiing the Baw Baw plateau. And of course there is the Pilot Ranges area near Beechworth. [/QUOTE]
