[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 76993, member: 2152"] Let's hope three NAPFA can make some inroads here. Typical of political based progress, things are quick to change to exclude people but slow to change to include, unless some revenue raising is involved. I'm Victorian but its something that has also happened here, two places that used to be open access a decade ago are wildlife reserves. And please believe when I say there are no extra advantages to the wildlife since it became so. This sort of thing gets me a little wound up, so I wish you guys up there luck, I hope you get the outcome you are after. Times change I get it, but it just seems odd to me everytime this subject comes up, that a location that has in the past been worked suddenly is off limits, especially under environmental pretences. Cyanide processing is long gone, so is dredging, so where's the harm in letting a couple holes be dug with the associated tourist dollar? Sorry for the rant, its just the argument that fossikers and prospectors are not true custodians and keepers of a good environment and therefore are demonised and locked out is to be blunt utterly ridiculous.
