Use the search icon top left there's plenty of information to keep you busy :beer:

 

[Dave79]

Prospecting means searching and following the clues. Not asking for a location that you can drive right up to and dig up nuggets!

 

[Ded Driver]

well, his alias is 'lazygoldlaz'
. geeez you blokes are stingy with locations....

ps, you might have to wait for the border to open tho'

 

[Deepseeker]

You funny bugger ded. I just googled those coordinates. You'd get a lot of gold for sure, and a lot of time to spend after lying on a bunk wondering if it was all worth it :lol:

 

[condor22]

Not a prob, border's shut anyway, lol Several borders as it goes...

Hello. I have done a bit of scratching around in SA but never found much. Mount crawford seems to have nuggets for people and I think Angepena in the flinders is still hiding alot. I have seen a new picture of some chunky multi ounce gold from a location you wouldnt expect in the hills near Adelaide but I beleive that was from a private property.

My wife and I are heading to South Australia in September. We have accom in Goolwa for 7 days but have an extra 5 nights where wed like to check some other areas out. Well have a hire car but never having been there we are hoping to get some idea from locals on what to do. I suggested I do a detecting trip with Phasetech but my wife wasnt keen. Apparently she wants to be part of the holiday. Whod have thought. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rick

 

[Teemore]

Goolwa, Victor Harbour etc, Lovely part of the world .... get her to do the detecting with you, Nenad is a great bloke, if there's gold about he'll go out of his way to put her on a piece ....

 

[fwdoz]

Wineries also down that way...she could go on a winery bus tour while you detect.

Southport is supposed to be nice. Maybe here on Yorke Peninsula even.

Shes not an outdoorsy person. School teacher who will need some decent down time. I am sure the wine areas will be on the list. Are the flinders ranges easily accessible? Accommodation is another thing well need. Cheers.

Hi Kemjak, where are you coming from? I would highly recommend the South East of SA, from Goolwa its a 4 to 5 hr drive to Mt Gambier (440kms), in the Mount you have the Blue Lake region, the sinkholes, Tantanoola Caves, Nelson, Port MacDonnell all within 30mins. An hour away you have Penola, Naracoorte (Naracoorte Caves) and the Coonawarra wine region.
An hour away down the coast you have Beachport and Robe for magnificent coastal scenery.
You could easily fill 5 days down there.

Flinders Ranges is accessible from Goolwa but its about another 100 to 200kms further than the south east trip but does offer magnificent scenery.

I think it was Port Noarlunga beach that was on my charge sheet for 'Indecency - naked in a public place' after being rudely woken up by Police at 0800 in the morning with my temporary partner...... 30 odd years ago???!

See if you can get across to Kangeroo Island Rick.?
Mate, buy a lobster from over there!! Trust me... the best ever!!

We live in Cairns. Thank you for that info. That will be great to plan around. Having 7 days at goolwa will give us time to do day trips around there then after that well look at other regions. Thank you

Never went anywhere near the place. Spent most of my time trying to get out of RAAF Edinburgh.
