[QUOTE="Colin&Lee, post: 77385, member: 243"] Obviously super early or late in the day wont be welcome- think about how you would like to be disturbed at home by someone on your property. Knock on some doors and ask politely and be prepared to politely receive a "no"- better to get a no rather than being charged with trespass...Can't imagine you'll get a warm reception several kilometers up GG creek without permission. Simple fact is the land owner needs to know who is on his/her property for a whole bunch of reasons. I know for a fact a number of people have entered some of the paddocks around GG without permission, left gates open and mixed pure breed stock with x breed, which last time it happen took over two weeks for one of the land owners to sort out. The land owner has also had gates snapped off and locks cut. The land owners also need to know if there are people around if they intend to conduct pest control on their property and if they are likely to endanger peoples lives. People have also been leaving massive holes and rubbish around- this is stuff that endangers live stock and farming livelihoods. At the end of the day the good faith of the land owners shouldn't be abused. Word travels fast amongst rural areas, especially about bad fossicking behavior and as access to areas gets more limited, we need to do everything we can to show that fossickers are respectful and responsible people to ensure areas stay open. .
