[QUOTE="GrizzlyLar, post: 628317, member: 21859"] Hi Guys, Complete newbie here, never prospected, panned or picked up a shovel for gold before. Me and the Mrs have decided to head away for a few days camping over xmas while we have time off work to do a spot of exploring, relaxing and panning. I've been doing some research online on the area's around Sydney. NSW and decided on the Sofala/Turondale/Hillend area. So Turon river to Macquarie. Its a designated fossicking district and the rivers and creeks are marked as crown land. From what Ive read I think its correct that I therefore have access. Crown leased from what I gather is a different matter. We will be taking our hammocks etc. so looking to bush camp. A lot of the areas that Ive been checking on google satellite for obvious bedrock seem very remote and away from any houses etc. but would like to be sure that Im not encroaching on anyones land. Is there anyway to tell if a piece of land is owned by someone? On the area can anyone recommend some good spots where we could camp up for a couple of days and relax and prospect? Not just for gold but for relaxing or swimming. On the equipment side Im looking to get a pan, classifier, sniffer bottle, bucket, shovel and crevice scraper. Unfortunately I dont think I have time to make a manual pump. Are there any essential items that people would recommend? Many thanks, Grizzly [/QUOTE]
