[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 351196, member: 2152"] Just ridiculous really. The cost of enforcement alone would outweigh any benefit. NSW is no small place. I struggle to understand what the issue is, natural events like fire, flood and storms change the environment much faster and on s much greater scale than anything done by a NSW prospector with a shovel and highbanker. Imagine if they said they would prosecute the weather for all the damage it's caused over the years, and you start to see just how laughable this really is. I really did believe that things were changing up there. I think most communities are prepared to embrace prospecting and the dollars it brings. I for one will not hesitate on my decisions next time I'm up in that part of the world to spend time looking for gold, I'll be in Adelong, kiama, bendoc/delegate, Cooma, mogo and big badga areas if the authorities want to come check up on the legal status of what I'm up to. Chances are they probably don't have a clue where to look in any of those areas. :o [/QUOTE]
