ELDORADO GOLD DREDGE
The large gold dredge at Eldorado in Victoria State, Australia remains as a reminder, when the gold fields were at their peak. It resides in the lake it created during operation.This large machine is now gradually rusting away and although some preservation has been carried out in the past, is still in the same position as when shut down in 1954.During it's lifetime, it ran all 24 hours, 6 days a week with maintenance each Sunday. When operating, it used one third of the whole electrical supply for the State of Victoria and could be heard over 20 kilometers away. The township of Eldorado is 290 kilometers north-east of Melbourne.
The original video was taken approx 15 years ago with a Canon EX1 ....( Hi-8 ) camera.

Fishing at Eldorado dredge hole
Eldorado dredge hole is a hole that was dug by a giant floating gold dredge. It is at the township of eldorado, about 15 minutes east of Wangaratta in North East Victoria, Australia. The old floating gold dredge is still there floating in this popular little fishing spot and is a popular tourist destination.
Over the years fishing in the ELdorado dredge hole has been predominately about redfin, with a few carp caught as well. I remember catching redfin in there back in the early 1990s when I first got my drivers licence. It was the redfin that lured me to go fishing there quite regularly.
Over the last few years, Victorian Fisheries Authority have been stocking it with yellowbelly, or Golden Perch as well as silver perch. The Silver Perch stockings have only commenced more recently, and I am really hoping that the silver perch take off in the Eldorado dredge hole, hence me killing the small redfin as I catch them.
The Cocks Eldorado Dredge
The Cocks Eldorado Dredge is situated two kilometres north of the Victorian town of Wangaratta. It was built in 1936, and still stands on the manmade Reedy Creek. It's engines have long since stopped, and the frame is slowly rotting, but it is still quite an amazing site, just for it's sheer size. The dredge was like a giant gold panning factory. It produced over 70,000 ounces of gold in it's day, which is approx $28 million by today's values. It was taken over by Parks Victoria in 1996. The dredge is an important part of Australian's heritage, being the largest relic of it's type in Australia.
Stay safe and play nice!

Prospecting for Gold in Reedy Creek near Eldorado, Vic
My first ever video...from before I planned to do this whole YouTube thing so it was shot on a phone (please excuse the quality). I spent two days up there (23 - 24th Feb 2016) prospecting and running the hughbanker and camped in Chiltern-Mt. Pilot National Park. Found some nice gold and had a good time out there despite the heat.
Sorry about the audio being all over the place, and also for the wind.
If you want me to make more videos like this then please let me know by liking or commenting on this video, or by subscribing to my channel.
