[QUOTE="mdv, post: 137094, member: 710"] I received a copy from Santa. My interest lies mainly in the Tuena/Abercrombie/Trunkey goldfields. Where I prospect is on private property and saw a bit of prospecting action during the gold rush era. However, this is not reflected by 'red hatching' in the atlas - in a way that is good. Otherwise, the depiction of these goldfields seems pretty much OK although my knowledge is not great. I do have one concern that he shows crown land as 'green shaded', and in some places (quite loosely) uses the term '[b]public land[/b]' interchangeably with '[b]crown land[/b]'. Part of our farm is a long term crown lease for grazing and is shown in the atlas with 'green shading'. But in no way is it public land in the sense that prospectors have unfettered access to this land - Our crown lease is ostensibly 'private property' and trespassers are liable to be prosecuted. I would not like users of this atlas to get the wrong idea that they can freely prospect on any land in the atlas that is shaded green. Please check first if it is vacant crown land or whether it is is subject to a crown land lease or licence. [/QUOTE]
