To be honest Ive never seen a road go down to the mine, there might be whats left of one but never saw it, I just used to walk down the hill to it thru the bush. A mate of mine used to live spittin distance from the mine and I use to leave my car at his place, he sold up about 10 years ago and moved into town like I did. I have the stone maps as well but I think they are wrong in regard to whats public and private access, thats what Im looking into.
I think you might have trouble running a sluice on the big oakey creek, its usually stagnate most times of the year with the odd few puddles of water, only time its flowing is when it rains but it drys up pretty quick there after.
