[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 589095, member: 2152"] I hate to advocate calling up and confirming but wherever you would like to go just figure out whos in charge of it and ask directly. Dewlp (probably changed their name again) in the local area is the best starting point. You can also try where they sell Miners rights in the local vicinity (or closest to) often they will have maps of where you can and cant go. The final call on if you can, or if you cant, rests with the land management of the specific area. Most times the exempt list is a no go, but Mt Pilot NP will allow acess to Reedy Creek in designated areas for example, even though its named on the exempt list. This is due to the land management decision to allow it overrides the list. In this example the closest Miners Right issuer is Beechworth Tourist centre, which can provide a map where in the area is ok, and where is out of bounds. Theres a few others that fall into the same determination. Honestly its all as clear as mud and either noone wants to clarify it all, or noone has been tasked to set it out clearly. For what its worth Im convinced very few in the public service have any idea what is going on, let alone how to direct someone, at least its been my personal experience. Without a map most of them are just as lost as the new chum asking. Try Geovic to determine the land status and go from there. If its crown land outside of a NP its definitely worth asking about. And in my opinion, looking at the list and the way its written if its not named ( little joe creek as in your example and is not named), I think you have a case to say you would be allowed if it met these 3 criteria. .A. Its Victorian Crown land, B. Accessed from public roads, C. Processed under conditions set out in Miners Right. [/QUOTE]
