[QUOTE="Rambling rude, post: 429001, member: 220"] I agree jethro, I personnly know a bloke who, in the late seventies and early eighties was a regular panner, high banker, and dredger of the Thomson River. The Thomson was on the list then and is now, I recently caught up with him and mentioned the Exempt list to him.. And he told me that he and his mate had regular visits by forestry Rangers to see how they went, the first time the Rangers checked their miners right then never bothered them again. He told me the list was in regard to mining claims along rivers and creeks, building a dwelling on that claim was exempt from taxes whilst the claim was being worked. I don't know if he is right or wrong, but I do know he found a lot of gold, he even showed me where his claim on the banks of the Thomson was on a map. So how a claim can be let through back then on a location on a river that is on the list... I only wonder. RR [/QUOTE]
