OK... So here is one last piece of local hidden Treasure I am going to give up. ( I think it is) What you are going to see is 100yrs old. Built by hand and I believe needs to be preserved. The men and women who opened this area up worked hard. As did the road builders.
Walking or riding in you may well encounter Red, Chital Deer if you are an early riser.. Along with Mules.. keep your distance they are deceptive..
You will be on the National Trail so you will not be tresspassing if you stay on the trail!! You do not need to leave the trail at all to get in.
There is pleanty of water at the moment and everything is green so a good time to go. If the water is gone there is a solar pump on a trough half way in you get water from. use a filter!!
You can obtain permits for the diggings to Fossick/Camp at the listed Coords for Parking in town at the visitor center. Or go online to QLD GOV and get a permit to Fossik camp in any area listed for Fossiking . This will cover you for The Seven Mile Diggings and any site in QLD. The Diggings are Council Managed and NOT listed on the site, but the permits are the same as issued in town. A map of the Seven Mile Diggings is below.
* LEAVE THE GEOHOUND AT HOME OR ON TIGHT LEASH..1080 BAITING AND TRAPPING IS ACTIVE IN THIS AREA YOU WILL BE PASSING THROUGH GRAZING LAND AND PRIVATE LAND AS A USER OF THE NATIONAL TRAIL.
This is not a hard walk but does cover some ground and some hills.
Please be aware that ongoing access to the trail depends on peoples behaviour crossing private properties generously opend for The Bicentenial National Trail.
Enjoy your walk..
Also this being a remote cache it is Log Book only but feel free to drop of travellers as there is ample room.
One last thing.. For anyone interested in History
