I would just like to say "unlucky" that you are being a little disrespectful to the lady you call Louise (not actually her name) and to the residents in Nerrigundah by stating we all think she is on her high horse. I know the lady you are referring to and find her one of the nicest people I know. Just take a thought to how you would feel if people regularly came along and parked themself on your council strip in front of your house, dug holes, chainsawed trees down and generally treated you with a semi polite attitude. Then those same people posted on a public forum misinformation and made fun of you.

Oh good. Either a troll or someone that cant read. Using a chainsaw to clear a fallen tree is more than acceptable, its a public service.

This lady nice or not doesn't have the right to stop people accessing public land or parking legally on the edge of a road, likewise she has the right to be left alone on her property. If she lives on the side of a gold bearing creek on accessible public land in the town of a former gold rush she would be ignorant to believe people aren't permitted to and/or going to pan or sluice in the creek.
People are allowed to collect dead fallen timber from a state forest for a camp fire or clear fallen timber from a road. Anything else including collecting domestic firewood in a non designated area is not permitted.
No disrespect Nerrigundah and we prospectors should strive to leave no trace of our presence and work in harmony with locals.

Dammit..should have read the posts by you guys before I explored up the Tuross. Camped where the big wooden bridhge crosses the river...no luck pasnning there. Had a bit of a test where the road then crossess Gulph Creek just south of Nerrigundah..no luck. Even Yabbie pumped down deep..maybe 1 speck. Found the Blue metal crossing that crosses North Creek but went doewn the creek to where it meets Gulph Creek..think I shoulda gone up the creek to that S bend.!! Anyway was just geeting a few good specks out of North Creek when the Lady showed up . Very rude yelling at us from 50 metres away. Had my young son with me so didnt want to argue. She threatend to let my tyres down so we decided to politely leave. I will be Back!!. Anyway then found that old track that follows Gulph Creek up to its source...lots of sctaches on my new Cherokee!! but went along there about 2 or 3 kms without finding anywhere to get to the creek without having to climb down A steep embankment which looked like tiger snake territory..GEtting late so went back to camp beside the Tuross...lovely spot. Will be back to have another go in the area next month. If you follow that old track up Gulph Creek..does it eventually get to a spot with easy access to the creek or is it necessary to climb down through the snakes? FOX

I was with my young son. I had checked it was not private land. It would be nice if the lady just came up and explained politely without going on the attack in such a rude way. It left a bad impression on his young mind. FOX.
