shoalhaven

Hi All,
Been panning before many years ago..just retired near shoalhaven area..planning to head to Yalwa and Oallen to get started in the area. Must be plenty of fgresh places to search out once im back in the saddle...any advice much apprecioated.

G'day Goldfox and welcome to the forum... Sorry I do not know about areas up your way... Wish you good luck for your return back into this great hobby... I am sure there would be other members on here that could help you...

Cheers.

Mike.

Yalwah as far as I know is no-go, now a national (disgrace) park - my opinion. I believe Oallan is still accessable. Have not been there for a while. Sure others closer will help.
regards Phil

G'day goldfox, like Phil said, most of Yalwal is national park or heratige area now Oallen is still accessable but has seen alot of work. Great place to find a little colour and meet some great people

Must be getting old. Apart from camping and fossicking down there a while ago, 15 -20 yrs, we also went white water rafting from Oallan for my wifes 40th 13 yrs ago. From memory the mob had egress about 10 k's down the gorge. Do they still exist, I don't know, I do know there were plenty of beaches. natural rock traps across the river etc. Who knows you may be able to negotiate access
regards phil
