Australian state by state known Gold bearing areas

[Nugget]

Thanks guys, the list has just been updated.

 

[Goldagettin]

there were a couple of gold mines at Cracow in Qld as well. A bloke I know got quite a bit of gold from the old cyanide pit at one of them. Not the sort of spot I would like to be digging in.

 

[Paydirt]

And from southern Nsw/ snowy mountains, Kiandra, Moonbah, Cooma, Numeralla, Delegate, Dalgety, Greymare, Adelong, Wee Jasper, Tumbarumba, Tumut, Michelago, Bredbo, Yambulla, south coast, Thredbo valley, etc. I'd love to see a photo library of what the gold from each locale looks like for comparison

What about Gloucester and Barrington Tops areas? Has gold ever been found there?

In Queensland you might like to add:-
Mount Perry, west of Bundaberg about 1.2 hours drive
Mount Ophir and Mount Shamrock about 2 hours south west of Bundaberg
these area's are accessible by car or bike or......

Hi undertaker,
The answer to your question is YES; do some research on the area and you will be surprised what you will find, a real education and very interesting.
Cheers, SinHof.

[Davejane]

Also around Coffs Harbour to Glenn Innes in the northern rivers. Still gold there too in nsw

There is gold in Barrington tops apparently and even a mine you can do a tour of but the whole area is a no go for panning as far as I know.

 

[BigWave]

The road signs pointing to Avoca (Vic) appear to have a "do" added at the end, so I think they've changed the town name to "Avocado"? You may want to correct your list
There's also Rushworth, Whroo (ghost-town with Balaclava Mine), Heathcote, Maldon, Creswick, St Arnaud, Bealiba, Talbot, Tarnagulla, Inglewood, Irishtown, Kingower, Fryerstown, Daylesford, Trentham etc

 

[Phoenix76]

Davejane, there is a thread on here talking about the newly proclaimed fossicking area at Barrington Tops. Haven't read it myself, but it runs a few pages so might be some good info in it.

 

[Jay44]

A few more for SE QLD area With Warwick, and Pratten being said already Stanthorpe, Pikedale, Palgrave, Karara, Leyburn, Thane.
