Where gold is actually hiding near Wodonga
The ranges north and east of Wodonga are underlain by Ordovician metasediments intruded by quartz reef systems. Erosion over millions of years has shed gold-bearing material into the creek systems draining toward the Murray.
Reedy Creek is the closest productive system to Wodonga. Numerous smaller tributaries draining the ranges toward the Murray also carry alluvial gold, though they receive less prospecting attention.
