It’s a tough place to dig but a lot of fun. Try move some rocks and get under them.

The place basically films itself. Thanks :)

Thank you very much. Was a great little stop over.

Great effort. We had a great time.

That's right no permit needed in nsw only state to still honor the constitution on fossicking rights,permit only needed if state forest,crown land an national parks

@@keza3250 : Well, the issue is a bit more complicated. For example, there used to be over 30 designated fossicking reserves in NSW. Wooldridge was one of them. Even though every fossicker needed a permit back then (I still have mine as a nostalgic keepsake!) it gave (in theory) similar rights as the Victorian Miners' Right. The NSW government in, IIRC, the late 1990s cancelled the permits and said anyone could fossick anywhere as long as certain rules were followed and permissions from landholders were sought. It sounded like a good deal! It was all BS, of course. Soon, the Fossicking reserves were closed and quietly absorbed into National Parks, sold or leased. Then access everywhere else began to be restricted. Former free areas such as Travelling Stock Reserves (on which some of the old Fossicking Reserves were located) banned fossicking. Public Commons were closed, shifted or had new rules applied by the government. Crown right-of-way sections of land (crucial to access some of the better fossicking lands) were quietly sold off to private interests. It's not all doom and gloom, though, as in the past five years or so that we've begun to have Fossicking Districts declared, which cut some of the red tape encountered when trying to get permission to fossick on mineral leases (large areas of the state are under these).

@@HummelJaeger I've noticed that too,acess to tsr,crown land an national an state forest for fossicking now requires a permit, You are not supposed to need a permit or miners right in NSW, even national park acess road have been sold or fenced off To much public land has been sold off or given to natives,all public land needs to he reopened to fossicking, I just dig wherever I like with my brother state forest,crown land,national park's,Aboriginal land an so on it's our country to as white Australians government can get stuffed Next time your fossicking good luck mate hope you find something great

Ok karen

It’s tiny little fossicking area In Uralla. Can’t miss it
