[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 82078, member: 1695"] They have already done that in SA at one of the more productive fossicking areas, used to be be a free reign over the whole area to prospect, now many gates, including some of the main highway access gates are permanently closed and padlocked, effectively limiting fossickers to a few areas (unless you are willing to walk kms to get to other areas). They ended up closing off access due to trail bikes and 4WD's making a mess of the tracks, without much consideration for other users. It's a classic culture of lock it up and throw away the key, the easier option over properly managing what is effectively a public area, funded by us, the taxpayer. [/QUOTE]
