[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 554924, member: 2764"] I would suspect the River is well within the National Park boundary and an error is saying Crown Land. I heard a story about 25 years ago where a tourist from USA was seen panning & Prospecting in a NSW National Park in a River. He found some gold and showed some passing by Australian tourists who mentioned the gold he found and the location. The NSW National Parks service soon heard about this and went looking with the aim of Prosecuting him. The Man Hunt involved was equivalent to a Man Hunt for a Mass Murderer or Dangerous armed robber. [/QUOTE]
