Bouldercombe Gorge Resources Reserve
Bouldercombe Gorge Resources Reserve is a scenic bushland reserve situated near the small town of Bouldercombe, near Rockhampton in Central Queensland, Australia.[1] The gorge cuts into the Razorback Range and Crocodile Creek runs along the gorge floor.
Originally called Crocodile Creek the area saw a small gold rush during the late 19th century. Today, gold is still mined in Bouldercombe, but only by amateurs. The mine still has a wide variety of gold alloys, and is a particularly good spot for alluvial.
