Thanks Ben78! Whereabouts in Uralla and Hanging Rock? I've only got a river sluice.

It's to confusing. The laws contradict each other??? Why indicate in a couple of designated fossicking areas "no pumps" and no where else along the River! Highbankers are allowed throughout NSW...but not Nundle?????

I have been enquiring with Tamworth council and Aquaculture & Aquatic Environment,Department of Primary Industries. They have told me "Highbank sluices are NOT allowed as the use of a pump to pump water to your sluice is considered to be a power operated piece of equipment".

Thanks Digginholes. Where I go is a public access area just down stream of Swamp Creek (see earlier pic from Shivan 19/01). There are no signs, fences/gates. I would think that it should be fine to use a highbanker in these areas??

I have been trying to find out from Tamworth council regarding the use of highbankers from Bowling Alley Point along the river to Nundle and was advised by the council "it's out of council's area of authority" and forwarded to Aquaculture & Aquatic Environment| Department of Primary Industries...
