Please see attached links to exempt rivers & creeks list was all I got in reply. Will be interesting to see if any of the plethora of tourist who frequent this area and may decide to pan for gold after watching this show get fined or not.
Certainly did as to how to access the creek, what the individual decides to do once there is entirely up to them. Personally I love crayfish caught from this creek.
A few years back when I finally found I had time take up this great hobby that was one of my first surprises as I couldnt understand how some gov dept could hijack a list of rivers and streams that one was not permitted to own or build a home on and turn it into a list one cannot recreationaly...
Weekend prospector show on 7mate just aired latest episode panning and sniping in the Yarra river ( listed on exempt river document ) well and truly upstream from plenty river junction.
Myself and others have emailed vic gov departments asking clarification re legality.
Lets hope production...
At the end of the day they talked up Warby as a place to find easy gold, poor program research.
And yes the footage does look familiar, I have spent many years fishing, craying and hunting in the valley.
Excellent, mine have recently turned up and seem to work fine on the sdc, I also gave them a run plugged into the telly and they work ok although I have noticed that one side seems louder than the other, not sure if thats normal
