[QUOTE="ThirstyDog, post: 27911, member: 1279"] Has anyone been out past Warburton in the Yarra Ranges? I've never done any prospecting, of any kind, but since moving to Victoria a few years ago I'm pretty keen to give it a go. The reason I ask about the Yarra Ranges is that there used to be a gold mine on Walshes Creek. The mine had closed and is now under water - the Upper Yarra Reservoir now dominates the area - but I'm sure there would be a bit around still. Through my line of work I actually have access to the catchment area and it's tributaries and looking at the creeks I've always thought what if... I'm fairly certain that they wouldn't have been detected before, and certainly not with the standard or gear available today. Otherwise some easily accessible streams would include McMahon's and Starvation Creeks which are further to the West/South West of the Reservior. [/QUOTE]
