Check out Earth Resources website for the Exempt River's list you will be amazed at how many rivers and tributaries are Exempt from prospecting :N: have you got your Miner's Right if not you can purchase one from the same website while you research the exempt list.

The people in authority up here dont seem to care a less about exempt rivers and even the local tourism bureau
recommends panning in the Ovens and Buckland rivers!
Being honest, I can tell you I and others, pretty much ignore those ridiculous regulations.
You could put thousands of recreational prospectors along the river and they would not do 1/2 of 1% of the changes and
damage that is done every time we have a flood. Last fishing season I went to a spot that I have fished for years, a very
large pool about 50 metres long and up to 8-9 feet deep. I hadnt fished there since the last flood and was amazed to
see that the pool was gone! Water 6-10 inches deep, you could walk straight down the middle of it.
I would hate to think how many tonnes of material were moved into that one hole. I know 1 cubic metre of gravel weighs
1.68 tonnes, so do the math. Over the length of the river we are talking many, many millions of tonnes.
When it comes to such regulations, I would not trust anything that the Greens fingerprints were on.
