[QUOTE="Tricky Dick, post: 155489, member: 4215"] Hi Y 4 k, My reading of the exempted list is that if a creek has its own gazetted name, then it could not be considered to be part of the larger ( exempted ) river. Google Maps tends to list the name of rivers / creeks giving their own names but is silent on small gullies that have not been given names. But I reckon that a splitting of the river into two similarly named rivers is still part of the same river. I wish it went so cos the Tanjil splits into a West and East branch. If the consensus is otherwise, I'm out there tomorrow!!!!! I've also been looking at the Tyers West River but considered it to be part of the exempted Tyers River. It's a little easier in NSW cos the river boundary is set to include 1 chain either side of the banks of the river ( a cricket pitch's length). In Victoria we do not have such definition. It would be ambiguous as to whether an ox-bow cut off from an existing river would be part of the original river. I've tried to do a quick google search and there is no easily available info on where the boundary of a river is in Vic. Given that I would say that the waters edge would be considered the boundary. So, if you pulled a nugget from a crevass beside the water that should be ok, or with a detector away from the river, but not getting the shovel wet to remove material. That doesn't answer your question though, just some thoughts. You could try a call to a DPTLI office (or whatever it's called now (maybe GLBTG (hee hee)) but I would anticipate that answer will be 'no'. I'd be interested to see what others think?
