Anyone done anything/know much about the Graham River up Mount Arthur way? Fairly close to the Baton and Wangapeka area and I know there was some interest back in the day so I'm thinking there might be a few bits left here and there...

(Always bloody hopeful eh?)

hi overdog. graham river has gold but very patchy and it is only small gold but the worst is the cold cold cold water even during summer you will freeze your balls of, nice place to catch a trout.
