I grew up on Hoddles Creek. We had a house and a bit of land on Gembrook Rd.
We even had an old flooded mine shaft in the backyard.
I remember nearly every weekend seeing people running dredges in the creek. This was back in the early 90's.
A panned a few specks in the creek at the back of our place, but i didn't have the gold fever back then. Teenage girls and fast cars had better appeal for an 18 year old.
There was a few good spots down there.
