I've spent countless hours, Hundreds of driving hours and thousands of dollars looking for a place to prospect in the area. Gave up after 5 years of searching. I'm sure there are places if you don't mind risking getting busted by Authorities or Land Owners and the prosecutions to follow. Unless your living close to Warwick or Clermont, your gunna have a hard time.
Clermont, went there the week they opened the new GPA's a few years ago. They were full of old dig holes. The yokels have hammered all areas out there regardless of status.
Gympie GPA is a joke and an insult in the same breath.
Warwick, damn near every square inch has been heavily raked.
Queensland sucks if you want to try prospecting
