Lake Eildon Victoria information and questions

[dazza1988]

Anybody prospected around lake eildon found a maps showing a prospecting area near eildon ???

 

[Redfin]

No, but do visit the delatite Arm on occasions, a great spot.
Do some research on the area between the Kevington Pub and Woods point perhaps?

G'day Dazza,

Lake Eildon and immediate surrounding country and the feeder streams are part of a water catchment and so it is definitely off limits for prospecting. That might change in the near future as access to some previously parts off limits areas has been proposed by the government and from memory the Howqua or Delatite was mentioned..... but for now NO!

Not sure how to respond to you....... you wrote "these maps" so did you intend to attach an image of the map for discussion ??

I'm sure that the maps you are referring to are the areas that could potentially open to prospecting
But are not open to us yet. And its not on Eildon itself.
If it does open it will be open to detectors and panning only.
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I'm sure that's what I read

The maps were in this web page .veac won't let me put the web page on untill I have made more than 10 post sorry

G'day Kirka welcome to PA the first thing you need to get your head around (save these links and check for updates) is where we are legally allowed to prospect/fossick

Where we're allowed

Where we can't Exempt River Streams Creeks and Tributaries .

Have you given thought to joining your local PMAV

Joining the PMAV will put you in touch with like minded people who will invite you to join them so you can flatten the learning curve and get amongst it. Best of luck when you do get the opportunity :beer:

What ever you do DON'T break the Covid19 restrictions it makes everyone look bad
