Corryong-Benambra

[Davo750]

Hi was wanting to if anyone has ever had much luck in the Gibbo river between Corryong and Benambra. I have found a old mine in the side of the river bank down there while hunting might be a good starting point.

A GUY I know was up there for a week and all he got was pneumonia glen wills or sunnyside might be a better option

Hi Davo.

Back in the good old days when dredging was legal in Victoria, I spent many days in the Gibbo with a 6" dredge. Got some very nice gold out there. It was fairly patchy but was quite coarse. Probably still plenty left there if you are prepared to search.

Near the junction of Sassafras and Saltpetre creek maybe worth a go too. Also a few deer there.
