OK... So exactly what did you do wrong?
I thought you were good in national parks up there...... permits and all govt BS in place
Suppose I can understand the bridge thing, but what the F.....????
Hi Bazz, FYI.
Within watercourses, you must not:
excavate within 40m of any bridge, weir or other structure, unless signs indicate otherwise
excavate on the slopes of banks, or within 3m of the top or toe of banks, where such activities may cause the collapse of the banks
significantly interrupt or divert the flow of the stream
cause any significant turbidity more than 300m downstream
interfere with any trees or shrubs in the watercourse
erect any structures in the watercourse.
On leaving, refill all excavations and place excess material so as to minimise disturbance to the channel and significant streamflows.
And
However, fossicking is not permitted in:
national parks, conservation parks and high preservation areas
nominated waterways of wild river areas
state forests and timber reserves, except in the declared fossicking areas or general permission areas (see below)
areas where there has been a determination that native title exists, unless there is an Indigenous Land Use Agreement for the land that permits fossicking
other areas declared by regulation (these will be signposted).
If in doubt, check with the local mining registrar.
Goldfreak was fossicking illegaly and has tried to make light of the situation. I can assure you this forum and it's members do not condone this type of behaviour.
If your going to be stupid enough to post confirmation that you were illegally fossicking Goldfreak, then at least have the decency not to treat it as a joke :N: . SS.
