[QUOTE="DetectaDave, post: 163932, member: 4774"] Just because some newspaper article says you can go dig does not mean it is yet law. As I said previously, the Minister has approved the changes. That is all. For these changes to be declared as law they have to go through the lower and upper houses of Parliament. The changes may not make it through parliament. It may also mean you cannot go in the recommended areas. It will also mean empowering Parks Victoria staff with the ability to prosecute law breakers. I don't need to look at a map. These changes have not yet been gazetted and until they are, you are prospecting illegally and may be subject to prosecution. The onus is on the prospector to make sure he/she is prospecting on land that is available for prospecting under a Miners Right. Its that simple. It's up to you to make sure you are legal. Saying you read it in a newspaper is not sufficient. There are ways you can check on line. [/QUOTE]
