[QUOTE="Capertee gold, post: 649372, member: 6069"] Thats a very beautiful part of the country to explore ,and the mighty turon is a fantastic river to explore ,I've spent 2 yrs 8hrs a day every opportunity I could get exploring it from when i lived just up the road from capertee national park ,turon gates track which goes out through palmers Oakley that has a reserve you can camp at, and there's a few good areas along the river there to explore and camp then if you cross the creek and go right the track will take you along the river passing an old stone hut then up along the ridge a bit then back down and across the river 3 times with miles of spots to pan all the way to sofala's Green pt camp grounds But yes if camping pick some higher ground as others have said ,I've seen that river go from a few inches deep to a 2+ meter raging torrent in less than a couple of hours and it was blue sky where I was . In saying that it doesn't matter what side of the river your on as long as you've got a 4x4 and enough fuel to take some long treks out to a main road ,for example from palmers Oakley you can take the left track and come out at sunny corner ,so there's always options ,The from sofala you've hill end to the west and wattle flat to the south, and both have designated fossicking areas .So much to explore out there I could go on for ever 🤣🤣 I wish you luck mate [/QUOTE]
