Have you seen Aussie Gold Hunters? I believe the Gold Gypsies, (aka Chris and Greg), do guided tours.

Make sure you have your Western Australian miners right if you plan to prospect on your own. It is available from the Dept of mines and petroleum web site. You will also find plenty of useful information at that web site

As old hand says don't come in summer,it's my first summer in Perth WA and I'm sweating like a pommy in the desert.

 

[Ded Driver]

East Hull, your joke is a bit heavy, but that aside, Perth is crap in summer mostly due to the humidity. Most of our coast gets it but Perth seems worse than most (to me at least). I don't mind the dry heat inland for a bit as it evaporates sweat.
Still, for those not acclimatised, high 30's to 40+ temps inland can kill. Its VERY VERY important to stay VERY well hydrated.
An important note to all who will/might visit WA inland &/or Midwest - North, WATER WATER WATER
.. actually, on that note, people have become lost in the southwest & suffered dehydration. We don't have much in the way of rivers, but those we do, you don't want to drink it unfiltered!
