[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 666774, member: 4485"] The problem is these areas aren't in a NSW Fossicking District & are mostly, if not entirely, covered by EL's (Exploration Licences) so you need to have the EL holders permission to fossick. This is out of NSW Forestry hands. It's NSW Mining legislation. There are also Mining Leases in the area which you cannot access at all without the permission of the leaseholder. Best bet would be to contact NAPFA, local tourism bodies, LGA/Councils & State members to get the ball running on getting a Fossicking District declared. That way permission does not need to be given by the EL holder to fossick & NSW Forestry could freely allow fossicking unhindered (except direct active exploration areas of course). It does not change anything in regards to Mining Leases or any other required access permissions though. [/QUOTE]
