It was pretty bad last time I was out there, could only access the creek in a couple of spots. As you drive in a bit past the old diggings there was a clearing on the left where people had been camping and a narrow track had been cut down to the creek from there. The other spot was where the track crosses the creek, both looked pretty well flogged.
Probably a bit boggy in there at the moment....

Let us know how you go. There's another spot not far from there that I just remembered Wal telling me about ages ago, keen to check that one out but might be another overgrown mess by now.
Hey guys,
Don't know if this is much help but looking at the NSW fossicking map the Gold fields at wee jasper are a no go zone as they are under lease.

I heard the same thing, too many holes left open so the lease holder stopped everyone going there, bit of a pity really.
Of course you can as long as you have a fossicking permit

I'd be keen to know if the gates are still open....
If you can find out who the lessee is I guess you can fossick to your hearts content if they give you permission. But I would say good luck to that

Can't say I have, but Doug Stones gold atlas shows a bit of alluvial along the creek south of the WJ road.
It's the first creek you cross before you get to the track that goes north into the old diggings, and looks to extend south along the creek down as far as where it crosses McPhersons Swamp Rd.
Edit - have a look at the map Muddy posted up there ^^

No sorry mate.

I didn't wind up going to Wee Jasper. It was a family outing and thought given the likely blackberry situation it probably wasn't suitable.
Went to Nelligen area in Currowan State Forest. Didn't find anything but it was a nice day out regardless.
