Great question, in some cases the extent of the National Park may only reach the high tide mark, so below this may be allowed. It would be best to check with your local NPWS office to confirm this if you had a specific location in mind.

Hi Jacob, I was just wondering that if you could Metal detect on national Park beaches because I know in Dunsborough in WA you can Metal detect in the national Park beaches but since I'm am up north at Exmouth their is a national Park you have to pay to entre and wasn't sure if I could detect or not but I decided not to anyway. Also what is the value of the fine if you are caught Metal detecting in national Parks. Cheers 👍
@OurPastAu3 жыл бұрын
Hi Blake, I believe it depends on the tideline. You’d have to check with the management of that specific park to be sure. In terms of fines, you may be lucky and get let off, although they can issue fines in the hundreds or thousands, and possibly arrested if it were real bad (say you detected in a heritage listed national park, over an aboriginal site).

Actually several nsw national parks have veen developed, bulldozed etc. In vic you can prospect in a number of national parks and heritage parks etc. there is a list. Cemetaries only applies to current registered cemeteries. State forests in vic are open to all, no permits... But ANY gold prospecting, anywhere , including on private land, requires a miners right. Beaches below the high water mark are not owned my any local government in Aus so local rules do noy apply - it's state land.

@OurPastAu4 жыл бұрын
Great question! All sites are different, if a whole building is heritage listed, often there is a surrounding ‘buffer zone’ to further protect the site. This probably wouldn’t be the case if only a particular component of a building is heritage listed (e.g chalkboard in a school). The buffer zone is dependant on the buildings interaction with the surrounding area. If you can find the documentation associated with the site, this will usually give a visual and written representation of the limitations to the listing. Buffer zones are generally 15-50 meters in diameter around a building (from what I’ve seen and experienced) but once again this is dependant on the individual site. Hope that helps!

Nanny needs more laws. So nanny makes more laws, if anyone thought we were free they were very much mistaken. Of course you have to respect heritage parks, cemeteries etc.....but keeping valuables is your right and nanny should have no right to that. Quote: Kazz revealed: 'A lot of people don't realise that if you find anything worth more than $100, you have to hand that to the police. If you keep or sell it, it's called theft by finding, and it's a chargeable offence.'

@timareskog24184 жыл бұрын
Stock Reserves are "Crown Land" even if they are fenced off by the local farmer. Permission can be obtained by the farmer to incorporate the Reserve as part of his property to use buy my understanding is that it technically remains Crown Land. It is permissible to travel these Stock Reserves and even hunt Vermin/Game animals, this one could assume it's also legal to detect upon them. Best to check with the various State/Territory Governments in the areas you wish to travel to establish the full Law/s concerning those areas. Note that some farmers &/or land owners are not aware of Stock Reserves either on or bordering their properties. As such they can get very negative with others being on "their" land.
