Oallen Ford NSW Information and Questions

They dont have rights to the river or banks though right?

Are we all on the same page here. I was in this area where the hut is a few years back and it was always accessible to the public as far as I knew.

The gate shown here used to be unlocked and the road was allegedly a right of way.

I thought all mining leases were on the opposite side of river, but I don't know for sure.

Should clear it up before anyone enters whether the gate is open or not, I'll be out at Oallen on weekend but not here.

if that is crown land then i would think that the road would be right of way
just my opinion or thoughts anyway

I went for a little trip down there last time I was around the area. If you go down Mogo Rd off oallen ford road then it's mainly private property on your left and there's a road that leads to the quarry but it's sign posted that no access into that road is allowed. To the right side is the nature reserve. All other roads were dead ends.

So pretty much there's no access to the Shoalhaven River off Mogo road at all.

Thanks boulders i thought thats what you told me but i couldnt say anything as i was not 100 sure

 

[Boulders]

Oh... I forgot to mention that the Marksman is the unofficial Gatekeeper of Oallen so if you are planning on heading down there you need to obtain his permission... Lol :lol:

 

[7.62marksman]

Yes will do he has been away see what happens in the next few days

These are the current leases on the area. Covers both sides of the river and both sides of the bend.

 

[7.62marksman]

That looks like it covers the whole area

Mogo Rd is on the opposite side of the River where The Mint Mine is.

I was looking at Burden Rd. Looks like there is a track off that to that sandy spot across from The Mint Mine.

 

[shivan]

There is an EL that covers the whole area but its the ML's you need to be careful of. From what i remember they are after sand, quartzite and gold.
There has been a ML for as long as i have been heading out there (about 6-7 years now), though it seems they have enlarged the original lease and also started a second.

I know a bloke that was trying to contact the company about access for years with no reply But other may have better luck.

Again i don't want to be a downer but it is up to us to be doing due diligence before we head out to a new spot ( or even before heading out to an old spot if its been a while).

This is a great tool:
