[QUOTE="Diggerdom, post: 63431, member: 2520"] One of the affected streams will be Reedy Creek from Woolshed to Eldorado. When this area changed from being state forest to national park, there was a great deal of lobbying and consultation with local communities and users of the area. As a consequence, when the national park was declared, it contained exclusions from normal National Park regulations in that it allowed for a range of activities to be permitted due to their existing use. This included prospecting - including with a sluice box. Now this popular usage of this area, a use that has been continuous for 160 years, is being taken away, making a nonsense of the prior consultative process. Fellow prospectors, this is the thin end of the wedge and a sign of worse to come. I urge you to voice your discontent. Chris Baker [/QUOTE]
