[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 578933, member: 8209"] I do understand leasehold and freehold - I owned some ;) Not all Victorian river frontage is leasehold but the vast majority is. I have an uncle that does own freehold, has put up very clear signs, has pictures of titles, diagrams of the frontage. And to most people it means nothing. They just do whatever they want. He points it out to them and he gets abused, threatened, threatened with legal action - all sorts of crap. It is not just aimed at fishermen - the first post of this thread is a link to Sporting Shooters Association. They are pushing hard for access for duck hunters. I would be happy to be advised that absolutely no public access through private land is available but I think that is not the case. Thats why the VFF and the Nats are so vehemently oppose it. To be honest I thought you could already camp on leasehold river frontage if you accessed it from the water or by walking in. I see nothing wrong with boating down a river and rolling out a swag on the river bank. That sort of thing absolutely should be allowed. [/QUOTE]
