[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 554402, member: 2152"] Thanks MBasko. Nailed it. That telephone call was unhelpful and if I have to guess its for 1 of 2 reasons. 1. Person on the phone has little understanding of the question or the rules. 2. Person did not want to advise it was fine as they cannot be absolutely sure of where he wanted to go. If Im honest Ive given up calling any govt dept about prospecting, just get sent in circles by public servants who rarely understand what they are meant to be administrating. Even on the ground it can just depend on who you encounter and what they understand. Its actually forums like this with good people who've had to navigate around terms and intereptations for a number of years with various depts and changes to rules and legislation (and depts haha) that have a good grasp of what is and isnt allowed. No wonder new people to this past time feel so lost when starting out, its clear as mud. I just cant decide whether its deliberate or its incompetence that perpetuates it. Probably a combination of the two. Sometimes I wonder if thats why they want it all shutdown, very easy to oversee an activity that doesnt exist. [/QUOTE]
