[QUOTE="Marked, post: 27065, member: 1246"] I have since become aware of two possible issues with prospecting the Mitta Mitta, Snowy Creek, etc - that is their inclusion on the "exempted rivers, streams etc" list that arguably disallows prospecting in the bed or on the banks of said rivers, and the fact that the Mitta river Heritage area, [i]definitely[/i] disallows prospecting in the bed, on the banks, or within 200 metres either side of the river along a fair whack of it that I will have to try and determine before the next family holiday in the area. I am reluctant to advise others to try an area in case my understanding of how the rules are interpreted, enforced (or not) should be in error. This is a shame, as the Omeo Highway south of the Township of Mitta Mitta follows the Snowy Creek a good distance, allowing several areas of easy access that I have seen. There is plenty of fine gold in the area that should at least give a colour or two in the pan to whet the appetite of beginner panners with only rudimentary knowledge of what material to gather and pan out.
