One of only 2 in NSW where Fossicking is allowed, Abercrombie Karst Conservation area (Grove Creek area only) is the other....

From their website: Fossicking is currently permitted in two parks through plans of management: Abercrombie Karst Conservation Reserve (Grove Creek part only) Torrington State Conservation Area (throughout the park). [url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au]www.environment.nsw.gov.au[/url] topics park-policies f... Even 'Field Trips' with Minerama and other Clubs have been there with blessing from NPWS for years... And one of Our Venues for Gemorama this year till Covid hit.... Perhaps it has just been made a Conservation area? I don't know, but anyhow We have lost another area due to the Greedy Illegal activities of some.... LW... [/QUOTE]
