[QUOTE="blisters, post: 304457, member: 4992"] Here's the report I mentioned earlier it's a big read and 23 years old: [url]http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/papers/govpub/VPARL1992-94No86.pdf[/url] It does not define the legal legislation I'll leave that to you to research but references legal cases based on it. On topic is the definition of dredging on page 9&10 (about 54 pages in) so gravity dredging is definitely out by that definition. At the end of the document is the minority report which basically says there is no evidence of harmful effects of dredging on a small scale, that dredging may help the environment by removal of lead etc. and recommends reintroduction of amateur dredging... :) There's obviously more than this document alone on the subject for dredging to remain illegal.
