[QUOTE="Stu, post: 146435, member: 3704"] Well today was the day that we all never want to happen. Two fishing inspectors on the bank of the Peel River at Nundle letting me know that pump driven Hibankers are illegal. Can of worms yes but i really would like to talk with someone who can give me a definitive answer on what the legalities are. i got a photocopied brochure off the men in grey with reference made to the mining act, specifically not mechanical processing. The thing that annoys me is that one branch of government doesn't talk to the next and i end up with two fishing inspectors reading me the mining act :( As they always seem to be able to do, they are enjoying it up here and i don't get to do what i would very much like to be doing. i wasn't digging into a bank, exhausting into a river or any such thing. I pay my taxes and live in a manner which is law abiding as far as humanly possible. Their side of the argument revolved around "mechanical means" a point which i had to concede. At this point, opinions aren't really what i am after, fishing inspectors don't do opinion. i'm after facts, Stu. P.s, WalBankers are awesome. [/QUOTE]
