Again thank you all for the replies.
Ive seen on maps you can detect in some parts of Kara Kara.
Paddys Ranges is most likely where we will go after a day or 2 Fishing. (thanks Patrick)
We are off today to collect our headphones, maybe some maps, food and most import some beer :lol:
Ive also been told about fire risk and fires are banned. Does this mean even having a pit fire is banned?

In National parks you have to have fires in supplied fire places where available, only camp in designated campgrounds and only detect in the permitted areas on the maps supplied by parks Victoria.
During summer the CFA will issue a TOTAL FIRE BAN on days which are high risk, other than that you can have a fire, but use common sense, they can smoulder for over a day and fire up again easily. Wind can carry embers to dry bush and start fires easily.
State forests you can basically camp wherever you want. When this website actually works it shows the dull green areas as state forest http://mapshare.maps.vic.gov.au/MapShareVic/index.html?viewer=MapShareVic.PublicSite&locale=en-AU
Familiarize yourself with all the rules regarding prospecting here http://earthresources.vic.gov.au/ea...-prospecting-and-fossicking/land-access-rules
It's a bit confusing but if you want to do any panning while here, this is the list of rivers creeks you can't go in.

Prospecting in state parks and metal detecting for gold in National Parks within designated areas...mates, that sounds like a great idea!Chewy said:
