The Greens are pushing for a Great National Parks here in Eastern Vic taking in most of the Goldfield in that area. It is not only prospecting that won't be allowed, 4X4 driving, Motor Bike Riding, Fishing in most streams and lakes, Camping in designated areas only, horse riding. You name it and more than likely it won't be allowed. If this gets through, or even apart of it, then they are going after the Golden Trianlge. nugget893
