I'd first suggest though that you do some reading first about the local areas so you know what you are looking for and where. Do a few Google searches to start off guys.

When you find some info that interests you, post links of what gold n gem info you've found and then discuss it here.

Find out what your area was called originally as a 'parish' search by that 'parishes' name in trove.com and also in Google.

I've been to gembrook a few time but not much luck ( I found most of my gold further out towards Warragul which isn't that far as I'm in pakenham too I filed give u a few pointers if u want them just pm me good luck

The parish was the "parish of Evelyn". The "Gembrook" goldfields are mostly talking about the Macclesfield and Yellingbow goldfields a few kilometers north west of Gembrook, nearly all which are now reserves. If there's gold at Cardinia and Emerald it would mean there too.
