Bruce Hearder Southern Cross Gold: A Beginners' Prospectors Roadmap The Southern Cross region is legendary. It’s a cornerstone of the Western Australian gold industry. But here’s the thing: you can’t just drive out there, wander aimlessly through the scrub, and hope for the best. If you want to actually find something—and more importantly, if you want to do it without getting a fine or getting stuck in the middle of nowhere—you need a plan. You need to know the ground, you need to know your gear, and you absolutely need to know the law. Bruce Hearder June 30, 2026 • 9 min read #Southern Cross #Bullfinch #Marvel Loch #Yilgarn Crator
