Where gold is actually hiding near Gympie
Gympie sits on the Gympie Province, a Permian-Triassic terrane with gold-bearing quartz reefs and alluvial systems. The One Mile Creek system and surrounding ridges host the historic lodes. Alluvial gold has been shed into the Mary River catchment.
One Mile Creek and its tributaries drain the historic goldfield. The Mary River system carries alluvial gold from the surrounding ranges. Creek bends, bedrock exposures, and tributary junctions are the key trap zones.
