Mt Disappointment

[Goldenbrown]

Does anyone have any knowledge or know if there's any colour around the mt disappointment area? I went 4x4 driving with boss and saw a lot of creeks I went down and had a look but unfortunately I didn't have my pan or equipment I'm gonna go back up soon is it worth it ???

Key items to keep in mind in that Wikipedia article are "National Park" and "water catchment" ... so be careful to know exactly where you are on the map to keep on the correct side of the regulations.

Have a look at the geovic maps. From my limited knowledge there was some mining activity around the Clobanaine area which is North of Dissa.

Hope this helps a little bit.

I've been up there a heap of times as I don't live too far away. The majority of gold found up there back in the day was north of Flowerdale Road, pretty much from west of the park, right across to the east.

From my understanding (I could be wrong) there were about 10ish gold mines up in that way. If you go up there with a detector you'll be pulling your hair out at the amount of junk scattered around the place.

I've always wanted to get to the bottom of Strath Creek falls though, but the only way I can find a way in to the bottom of the falls is an absolute massive hike up stream which would take god knows how long.

that's now has a ( EL ) over that area and you would have to contact the mining company of the lease to go onto there exploration licence before looking for gold

 

[Hunting the yellow]

but i have tried all around dissa you may be disappointed that there is ant much gold around

 

[warrior707]

Hunting the yellow i thought you didnt need permission on ELs only mining licences otherwise half the state would be off limits

Gold was mined to the north at Reedy Creek-Clonbinane-Strath Ck-Tyaak-Mt Piper, around Wallan, both NE and NW of Whittlesea (eg east from Mt Phillippa) and around Kinglake West -farther away around Flowerdale and Yea, near Mt Slide, and south towards Yarra Glen (Steeles Ck), St Andrews, Panton Hills, Christmas Hills, Warrandyte. Diamond Creek, Yarrambat, Hurstbridge. Arthurs Creek. Small, mostly ony a few thousand oz max at each locality (1.6 tonnes in reefs at Diamond Creek, more than a tonne at each of Reedy Creek and Warrandyte)
