I don't know if this has been posted before so here goes.
The gold fields and mineral districts of Victoria: with notes on the modes of occurrence of gold and other metals and minerals (free to download as a Google eBook). If you don't know how to open it, when you find it in google ebooks, there is a wagon wheel type icon at the top right - click the download button. follow the bouncing ball from there.
This is considered by many to be the 'gold bible' of Victoria. Written by R BROUGH-SMYTH. Free through google ebooks. Comes a a pdf - quite large. 707 pages. 1869. Has a good index.
I highly recommend this book for all budding Victorian prospectors. In fact, any of BROUGH SMYTHs writings are excellent.
Hope it helps.
