Welcome to the forum Peter
Unfortunately having no knowledge of Queensland soil/terrain, I'm not much of a help to you, but maybe someone from QLD can help you out with some of your questions.

Welcome Peter, good luck with it all, as we've seen from recent finds from joe there is good gold in QLD.
But a lot of QLD [east coast] is inaccessible jungle and farm lease hold.
Joining a detecting club might be handy?

Welcome Peter,
The closest legal location for you to find gold is at the GPA (General Prospecting Area) out at Durikai near Warwick or up at Gympie where they have a small GPA.
