[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 627286, member: 4485"] Sunny Corner State Forest has been closed to fossicking. It's been offlimits on Minview & NSW State Forest ArcGis for awhile now - not sure of the official reasoning but it came after an incident where a motorbike rider went into an old mine & was injured. Newspaper reports suggested he was going to start legal proceedings against NSW State Forests.

It's just not feasible to put up signage, barriers & fencing for every single disused mineshaft in these places. There have also been previous incidents like this: [url]https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/true-stories/man-survives-after-falling-into-disused-mine-shaft-during-dirt-bike-ride/news-story/1a9c89a0ac05362c0eba48c9e21fa841[/url] Bit of a theme happening? :o (ducking for cover) :playful: [/QUOTE]
