[QUOTE="Geeza73, post: 76266, member: 505"] When i went up to Beechworth the other week, a guy walked up and said he was a friend of the ranger up there....he said he was keeping an eye out for dredgers and told me that just downstream from me.....two guys got caught with a bobcat and dredgers......they had ripped the guts out of the banks and he described the scene as a war zone. -apparently they had pulled out quite a few oz - can't remember the exact figure he gave me but it was a lot . he said they thought they would get all the gear taken....but were only handed a fine for not having miners rights and having a dog in the park. - so i am a bit sceptical of his story. - i can't find anything online in the news about it. the more of this sort of activity dredging or using bobcats.....they will ban reedy creek all together (then state wide, australia wide)..which will be a sad day for us that do the right thing.
