[QUOTE="Katabatic, post: 589005, member: 19153"] I am no expert on the matter, but the approach I have always adopted is that if the creek has a name, and that name does not appear on the exempt list, then it is a goer. Seems to me that the exempt list is quite specific, and goes to some lengths to specifically name certain tributaries. My logic (flawed as it may be) is that if a tributary named ALPHA is on the exempt list, and ALPHA has another creek running in to it called BETA, and the name BETA does not appear on the exempt list, then I can hardly be pinged for panning in BETA, for the obvious reasons that BETA does not appear on the exempt list, and it is not called ALPHA. If every creek, rivulet, gully, and watercourse that flows into a tributary named in the exempt list was also exempt, then there wouldn't be much need for gold pans :) But that is only one (potentially incorrect) interpretation.....there are probably as many different interpretations as there are members on this forum. If the issue is really cause for concern to you, I can only suggest that you seek clarification from the relevant Government department. Good luck with that :( [/QUOTE]
