Why this spot
Rockhounding locality: the 1850s Rocky River alluvial goldfield on Uralla's common, where thousands of diggers (and bushranger Captain Thunderbolt) once worked the New England deep leads
Uralla promotes public gold fossicking on the old Rocky River diggings; fine gold is still panned from the worked-over gullies
