[QUOTE="smokey22, post: 520165, member: 2800"] As a owner of a dredge in the days when a miners right allowed you to work in a stream. It was a hard days work to find colour and you could have a rewarding day on the clean up. One thing I see you all missed was the huge greens push at the time to stop the water being muddy. As we all know the sediment of the bottom goes through your dredge clouding the water as it traveled down stream this was a shock and horror to the greens as you might drown the fish. I have seen trail bike riders do more damage to bank walls that we ever did. I had been working in a creek over 10 years and had not seen this great destruction the Greens were pushing at the time. One day when working I looked up and saw a lady and police officer walking towards me and the lady was saying you cannot work in this creek, I said why not have been for over 10 years and I have a miners right. This country was born on gold and wool how far we have slipped backwards from radical greens. [/QUOTE]
