[QUOTE="Guest, post: 49215"] Mate I haven't put up a mountain of rules & regs but tried to show how the three tiers of NSW legislation work i.e. Acts - law, Regulations - law & Guidelines - just that guidelines. Its all well & good to know your rights but we have responsibilities also so if my post makes people think about what they are going to do beforehand good. Not intended to dissuade anyone from the Gathering but if people go up there having done some research on where you can & can't fossick that can only be a good thing. Seems to be a lot of gung-ho posts on here lately that are openly without a lot of regard to any rules. IMO it is up to the individual to decide what they do but openly flaunting laws/rules is no good for any of us. If the Nundle TSR is signposted as a fossicking area there's your permission for that TSR. Doesn't mean all TSR's are open to fossicking. I don't know what you mean by crown land in relation to fossicking? In relation to fossicking, or any activity, if it is under lease or management you need permission to be on there. Its not always just a matter of finding where it starts & finishes. If the land managers wish to restrict or stop any activity on the land they are within their respective right to do so. This is what I wanted to highlight - even if there are no signs restricting highbanking at the Nundle TSR or other signs may be illegally posted- there are areas where there are legitimate restrictions in place or where crown land managers/leasees do not allow access &/or fossicking.
