[QUOTE="Bazz, post: 155368, member: 2174"] Hey Y I had an issue with this and an over zealous ranger in Vic To keep a long story short, he bounced me in the bush about panning etc in a little creek which lead into a listed river, so being a shy retiring type I questioned him and after a short discussion we agreed to meet at his office and get the low down. My reason for questioning him and maybe his parentage, is that the creek fed into a larger river which was definitely on the list, but not the creek. A day later in his regional office it turns out that the three people from the dept ALL had completely different views as to the legality of prospecting a tributary of a listed waterway. In the end it was agreed that I was not in breech of this rule........ My experience is that the people who are suppose to enforce the law don't have a clue and are also confused........ go figure!!! Just a point, these guys were very helpful and for a moment accepted the confusion being created... Now, I research, check and research to the point of being anal!!! Good luck [/QUOTE]
