[QUOTE="CreviceSucker, post: 508763, member: 1804"] As far as i know the banned / exempted rivers were created that way to prevent people camping on their claim on the riverbanks because too many were being drowned in flash floods. The legislation was not intended to ban prospecting , it was intended to ban [b][u]occupation[/u][/b] [u]for the purpose of prospecting[/u] , ie no camping on the river. In years that followed local councils decided to form their own special interpretation and completely ban prospecting from those locations. Pity we dont have any qualified lawyers among our members as the definition and context of the legislation could be challenged. [/QUOTE]
