never been to there only do oallen on a day run and always come home happy
stuarts crossing is ok as well but up stream in the rocks
mongarlowe is ok however it is hard to get to
araluen always seems to produce as well if you get the right spot (took me a while to find it)
if you have a detector it might be worthwhile doing the camp ground at the bottom of the mountain )next to the river that you can pan when you finish) i havent heard of anyone doing that area with a detector
