The definitive guide to prospecting for gold in Victoria's Golden Triangle - Third Edition (2022)
It is not by coincidence or stroke of luck that all of Victoria's major goldfield cities are surrounded by large tracts of native forest. Victoria is unique in Australia (and possibly the world) for having public access Crown Land and forests surrounding the fabulous "golden age" cities of Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Stawell, St Arnaud and Ararat which collectively are known as Victoria's Golden Triangle.
Following the alluvial gold rush of the 1850's, it was the deep mines of the 1880's which brought heavy industry and manufacturing to Victoria, made the Golden Triangle the richest goldfields in the world and by 1900 gave Australia the highest standard of living in the world!
There is no doubt that there is still plenty of gold to be discovered, so if you are serious about gold prospecting and finding gold in Victoria, particularly within the infamous Golden Triangle in Victoria, Australia, then this book is absolutely essential. The large format maps (refer to the second image in the gallery for locations), include details about alluvial gold diggings, mines, reefs and public lands, making it easier to narrow down targets for your next treasure hunt!
UTM map grids are also plotted in the margins so you can pinpoint your position using GPS.
