G'day 91,
Best to ask this question in "Prospecting Rules and Regulations" and ask in relation to the State you are interested in, as the rules vary in each state.
Cheers Wal.

My understanding is -:
Disclamer: I ain't a lawyer, and the above should be taken as an opinion of a layman and not legal advice. You are strongly advised to look up your states laws and regulations and interpret them yourself and if you are unsure seek legal advice from a professional lawyer
- Yes highbankers are legal in every state and territory of Australia, some others have interpreted the laws and regulations differently including reports of officers of regulatory departments saying they are not legal in some states.[/*]
- for recreational prospecting you are limited to using only hand tools for excavation how ever once the material is excavated you are permitted to process it using machinery (ie. trommels and highbankers) [/*]
- a highbanker is technically a sluice that uses a pump to transfer water to it and can be used anywhere a sluice can be used.[/*]
