[QUOTE="user 5263, post: 525226, member: 5263"] Although it relates to anglers it is about access to rivers. i.e. the same rivers you might like to have access to in order to fossick. Basically as I understand it (I am more than often wrong) is that land owners do not own perennial water courses and if they can be accessed from public land i.e. a bridge crossing therefore you are not trespassing. However some land titles that would date back to the mid/late 19th century does give landowners the ownership of such waters or the midstream if they do not own both sides of the waterway. I'll see if I can find the discussion paper I got this from, which was quite some time ago. I do remember having a serious discussion with a NSW Ranger in Nundle over this after someone complained. I hadn't crossed a fence line and he left and I went on panning after I convinced him I wasn't causing turbidity in the river. [/QUOTE]
