hi max
you can go in sailors creek, and at eganstown you can go in champagne gully, butterfly gully (road is a bit tricky though in spots)

but not in wombat, spring or deep creek or jim crow.

sailors creek has good access to spots but the gully is steep in spots and full of blackberrys.

you find more garnets and zircons (i think) than gold usually.

there is a guide book at daylesford tourist info by stephen barnham ...maps roads and info about above spots.

thats the info i have been given anyway.......check with local rangers anyway

Did you have any luck max? Any water in the creeks?

Daylesford has some great spots to prospect takes time to find any decent volume but put.some.time in and you will do alright. I could show you some good spots but yoir a month late because the water has come up too high.

Hi james I did find a few colours not to many but enough to take the highbanker for a run and there is a lot of water.

Hi G0lddigg@ thanks for the feedback yes the water is quite high it would be great to hear from you when the water drops.
