Striking Gold
All fossickers coming to the Etheridge Shire are required to purchase a Fossicking Licence. Details regarding how to do this can be found via the link above on the Fossicking in Queensland page found on the State Government website.
Where to Fossick
The following people in Etheridge Shire permit fossicking on their properties if you call to request permission prior to arriving. Please exercise caution and respect for the land you're on and make sure you leave the gates how you find them. For example, if a gate is open when you go through it, leave it open but if it's closed make sure you close it behind you. You do not want to be the reason all the cows get out. Each property may have their own conditions for fossicking on their premises. Please ensure you follow their guidelines. Good luck, we hope you leave Etheridge with gold in your pockets!
