Gidday Peter You can detect in state forests in Vic but not national parks,you do need a Vic miners right,close to Melb I would go to Blackwood off the ballarat rd,stick to the creeks there if they are dry. I found some nice gold there and its not that far from Melb,used to take me 40mins from Werribee. X marks the spot,,,,,Once in blackwood drive straight past the pub,Ist right looks like it reaches a deadend but to the left you will see a dirt track,follow that down the hill and you will come to a pull in enough space for one car,and you are right on the creek I detected,if its dry try a mono coil as I only used a DD,creek runs a long way,I pulled over 5oz out of it before I got sick. Hope this helps
