Located approximately 40 kilometers west of Warwick, the Thanes Creek Fossicking Area offers enthusiasts the opportunity to search for alluvial gold in a historically rich setting. Accessible via Big Hill Road, the area is known for its diverse geological features, including sandstone, mudstone, conglomerate, slate, chert, jasper, and limestone. Fossickers can obtain gold by panning alluvial sediments within the stream channels, gravel layers in low banks, or crevices in rock bars. While camping is prohibited on-site, visitors can find accommodation in nearby Warwick. A valid fossicking license is required, which can be obtained online.
