Pete Michell heads to Mount Crawford Forest with his father Johnno & son Ben to try their hand at good ol' fashioned gold fossicking, an age old activity which makes for a great family outing. You'll need a day permit (which can be picked up at the Mount Crawford information centre for $2) and metal detectors & everything the prospector could possibly need can be sourced at the Miners Den in Salisbury South - why not try your luck searching for that elusive nugget.
