[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 481412, member: 13534"] Hi Mugnut, The Parks Victoria website gives you some extraordinary options to fossick in Parks that would otherwise be banned, being in National Parks. Make sure you check the maps they supply and stay in the designated prospecting areas. You can prospect in State Forests in Victoria, as long as the waterway is not on the Exempt list. And if a river is not on the Exempt list, you can certainly prospect on it, as long as it's not within a banned park area. You can try asking a Park Ranger if you want to try that for permission. In some cases they allow it, such as on Reedy Creek at Beechworth, that is actually on the Exempt list, but is allowed by the Rangers there. You might also try the Victorian Goldfields Guide, but make sure you select the "Gold Prospecting" tag in the search option, because not all sites listed on it have prospecting allowed there.
