Hi all...... From the Liverpool area NSW and starting to get hooked on the yellow stuff, can just imagine when I find my first bit of gold. Got some time off until the end of the year and going to try my luck. At the moment I just have a pan and a map of sofala- wattle flat area. I have seen a lot of YouTube vids and been reading the net/forums. If anyone out there is willing to show me the ropes I would appreciate it. I'm also thinking about trying shaolhaven area.
Cheers Mat.

G'day Mat and welcome to the forum. I have only been doing this just over a year myself but love getting outdoors and finding some gold. Iam from the shoalhaven area and would be happy to meet up and say g'day. Iam not the worlds best panner but can show you the basics and you could probably have a dig with one of our highbankers if you liked  |

Sorry shivan can't make it out this sat, thanks for the invite. Is there a lot of places which can be accessed by 2wd.

There are alot of places along the shoalhaven that can be accessed by 2wd like the ford. But the less worked ares are generally more 4wd friendly.
