[QUOTE="Marked, post: 26900, member: 1246"] The links you provided in that other thread in reference to this subject made interesting reading, Paul; perhaps you should include them here. I have a feeling that everything is left very grey to leave the[i] impression[/i] one should just stay away from those rivers/creeks...and provide rangers with the ability to move on the more destructive practitioners of the past-time? One branch of our family was able to eat by mining adjacent to the Mitta River (on the list) during the great depression...and even published takings in the Argus...but perhaps as they had a [i]claim[/i] that made it alright? Having holidayed in the area recently, the only prohibition mentioned by the locals was the one to do with dredging. If you have the money to gamble on legal fees, it seems that there may be grounds for escaping prosecution. Perhaps reading the Land Act that the list refers to, and every Ammendment to the act made since that may be persuant to the subject may be necessary for a definitive answer on how much of a gamble a legal challenge would actually be?
