[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 3548, member: 147"] Hi Col...I'm not sure about the legalities as there is not much to fossick for. There are no gemstones or gold worth talking about. I've lived here for 50 years and the only place you can pan a few specks is the Yass river at Macs Reef road....and Brooks Creek on the Federal Highway. There is an old tunnel on the 'Bidgee below Lower Molonglo called the Belconnel Mine and there is some copper associated minerals in the tailings. These few areas you can fossick all you like and I'm sure you won't have anybody telling you otherwise. You can travel an hour in any direction out of Canberra and find good fossicking areas. Wee Jasper..Grabben Gullen ...Bredbo... Oallen Ford...Majors Creek /Araluen ...just to name a few.....Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
