I am new here. Thanks

Hi all.

I have gradually become more interested in gold mining. I currently work overseas (Australian expat) and now grow tired of working this job. So as I look to not retiring but this as a step before retiring.

I have a friend and we start to look at prospecting (learning the ropes) and then look at getting a lease later on to do say hard rock mining (reef mining). So if anyone has that I would be interested.

Of course we decided to start off with sluicing or metal detecting. My mate said he would prefer the mountains as he actually is orginally a tibetan guy (mountain goat). Does anyone know where the posiedon crew went during the season 7 or 8 snowy mountains trip? I would like to hire a 4x4 and camp up there for a few weeks and have a try. I grew up in Brissy and was in the airforce cadets so I did lots of camping and training in my youth. So I am thinking going to a remote part.

Any advice would be great.

Hi Tris and welcome to PA.

I'm afraid that the Snowy Mountains are off-limits for recreational prospecting:

If you check out the Parks Victoria website linked therein, you can find info on the various Victorian parks and reserves where you can have a go at sluicing and/or detecting.
