[QUOTE="sawdan, post: 571444, member: 19102"] As has been said before...the law goes against local councils' tourism marketing According to Earth Resources, "[b]Prospecting is not allowed in the streams and rivers[/b] listed below.....Reedy Creek Tributary of Ovens River". (I can't yet post links) However, as you point out Jethro..on the official council Tourism Wangaratta website.... "[b]Gold panning or fossicking along the creek is a very popular and successful hobby[/b] and its a great way to experience the Gold Rush of this once bustling mining area. For gold panning, a miners right is needed and can be purchased at the Information centre in Wangaratta or Beechworth. Eldorado is the one place in the whole of Australia where you will have a virtual guarantee to find gemstones and crystals along the whole expanse of Reedy Creek, the richest of all Australian Creeks." (I can't yet post links) Has anyone actually been fined or charged over prospecting in a Victorian creek or river? [/QUOTE]
