[QUOTE="cairnspom, post: 146447, member: 4645"] Like all these regulations they are subject to interpretation, there is no finite answer unfortunately. If you read the guide [url]https://firewood.sf.nsw.gov.au/A-Guide-to-Fossicking-in-New-South-Wales.PDF[/url] it would seem evident that the "mechanical means" they refer to specifically deals with "surface excavation" however it is not worded the same way in the mining legislation it refers to. Also in NSW (I have not seen this in other "rules") they do give the fisheries officers power regarding "habitat" you may disturb. As I said before, unfortunately it is like all laws.....it depends who is interpreting them, and in many cases different bits contradict each other and I must say this is only my opinion, I am not a lawyer or legislator, I just happen to have been recently reading these statutes seeing how they differ state to state [/QUOTE]
