[ben2363]

merry xmas all..
i got family doen from interstate and they want to go out prospecting while we all are staying in ballarat for a few days..

im thinking of taking them to creswick to spend a day with the pans and maybe the high banker if theres water.

a few questions i have never panned creswick before..
is there still water.

To be honest, there's water near all year out creswick, u just gota know where the dams are.
If ur just doing some panning u will find a few puddles to pan in. highbankings guna be doubtful, and no flow for a sluice. We're guna get a storm tonight but won't replenish much.
Slatys guna be your best bet, cottys and sawpit mays well be dry. Any of the camp grounds a puddle should be around.

try just north of the town near the pine plantation bit of junk but you'll find something yellow too
