QLD prospecting Maps

What sources have you looked at mate?
QLD is a bit different to southern states - there are only a handful of official areas and nearly everywhere else is private permission or paid access (as a general rule).
- Durakai GPA (Warwick)
- Talgai GPA (Warwick)
- Thanes Creek GPA (Warwick), mostly creek gold
- Deep Creek GPA (Gympie), all old tailings, overgrown thick grass, not really detectable.
Maps are available on the QLD Department of Resources website, but they are general only, they don't have gold markings on them.
- McSweeny's Camp (Kilkivan) - paid access, heard of detectable bits being found
- Fig Tree (Mt Perry) - paid access, old hard rock mines with some detectable reef gold shedding from the mullocks heaps
- 7 Mile Diggings (Nanango) - free, but not detectable gold
There are lots others but nearly everything else is borderline access and/or private permissions.
I don't know much about North Qld except for Palmer Station which is again paid access.
https://georesglobe.information.qld.gov.au/ - that's a free source of all QLD based mining information including old gold mines and resource locations.
You could always try and get a copy of the QLD Gold and Ghosts book, but they go for like $500 - 800 per book or over $2,000 for the set.

Thank you
Hi All, I'm amateur and just starting to dabble in fossicking in SEQ region. I read about permissible access to unallocated state lands (if not covered by Native Title or other restrictions). Has anyone already searched the mapping for these? Just trying to figure out how to search online mapping systems for unallocated state land that would produce more detailed tenure/ boundary /location information. Then I would cross reference with other info (i.e. creeks / drainage and known geology / orebodies etc). Any advice on how to produce more detailed maps depicting QLD unallocated state lands would be appreciated
