[QUOTE="Marked, post: 27036, member: 1246"] Unfortunately, Adam, the DPI would have us believe, and the wording of the faq implies, that the list of rivers/streams is exempt from any "right to prospect" provided by a Victorian miners right, rather than being exempt from protection. From what I gather, an old version of the miner's right also gave the right to build lodgings where you were prospecting, and I would assume that original intention of "the list" was to prevent that from happening along the rivers, etc on "the list" rather than to prevent prospecting altogether, and has since been misinterpreted by well-meaning naturalists to save the areas from all of us destructive greedy prospectors.
