[QUOTE="shivan, post: 49241, member: 194"] Remember we are talking about the crown land here (or thats the impression i was under), and a lot of people who do this as a hobby have no idea how to check the status of crown land or how to contact the relavent people even if they can. So people come to the forums and ask questions hoping someone who has delt with the issue can clear things up, or point them in the right direction. So the issue on crown land at nundel has been brought up, and using a highbanker. We know under normal circumstances, yes we can use a highbanker. But now there are reports of signs saying no pumps allowed and wile i was up that way i got an info pack from a tourist information center at Mookerawa Waters Park information center. It looked like this: [url=http://s1198.photobucket.com/user/shivanemissary/media/nundle_zps612e4315.jpg.html][img]http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/shivanemissary/nundle_zps612e4315.jpg[/img][/url] Now this points to two fossicking areas (not just swamp creek), i have no idea if these areas are TSR as i have not checked and when i was away had no ability to. Just because other people do something does not make it legal (i am not saying the signs are right or wrong as i have no idea). If people do the wrong thing at places that have restricions in place but that we still have access to, it makes it more likely that those places will get closed out or shut off. Not trying to start arguements or debates on the laws/rules i just dont think everything is black and white, and Nundle seems to be one of the places giving a lot of people headaches. [/QUOTE]
