[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 595558, member: 4386"] I explored all that region extensively years ago with completely negative results using modern (company) geochemical techniques - Mathers Creek, Balmoral, Dergholm etc. Don't know where that 800 oz figure came from - 40 oz more like (mostly Balmoral-Englefield). The only systematic working was east of Balmoral towards Glenisla and the Black Range, although production would have been insignificant (it is the sole area where you can still see old alluvial dumps from workings on high-level gravels). For recreational purposes it is worth driving to east of the Grampians, you will get very bored farther west. There was a diamond found around Kongbool, but the gold and diamonds are likely transported there by glacial action from distant sources. [/QUOTE]
