There's plenty of info available online, if you want a general place to start the Doug Stone books are great (expensive though) and there's ones for each of the major prospecting states.

Check out each state's geo resources page too, here's an example for NSW: https://minview.geoscience.nsw.gov.au/#/?lon=148.5&lat=-32.50000&z=7&l=
Government pours a shit ton of money into finding deposits, also check out the state libraries for old maps and the like (pic related).

In terms of general advice on panning/prospecting, you have to be resilient. Try hiring a Minelab SDC from a shop somewhere and head out and have a crack in a common spot, I haven't prospected in qld but from memory there's a few spots near mt isa

Hey mate, fellow aussie here too, are ya just wanting to do basic panning? You can find pickers in the Yarra but it's illegal to prospect thanks to greenies. There's a tiny stretch of Andersons Creek you can pan but there's hardly anything left in it. I occasionally jump in the Yarra with a garret carrot looking for specimens but watch out for nimbys, way too many bootlickers and wannabe dictators along the yarra cause it's so expensive to have land along it.

If you're wanting to do detecting you'll wanna head out into the golden triangle, pretty much anything between Maryborough, Ballarat and Bendigo is detectable. There's a metric tonne of maps on the Vic State library website, I don't really wanna give away the good stuff since it's a bit of work to scout through but this is the sort of stuff you're after
