It's true, in many years the remains of the old timers are being reclaimed by the bush. This is nature!
Does it make it right to leave our holes unfilled?
The wombat or rabbit (no pun, Wombat PA member) does not fill his hole when finished with it.
How ever the wombat/ rabbit does not live in a society where the minority can rule and a minority our side of the fence can efff it up for all.
Numb_Thumb. The bush will reclaim the land eventually as we all will be returned from which we arrived. We all know this even if we cannot contemplate that day.
However if our prospecting is banned by the powers that be, do we all come here to reminisce about the days when it was legal to fossick and prospect.
Personally I would prefer not to give the greens or any other organisation any excuse to shut it down.
Looking at what happened to firearms laws, gun control after the actions of one unstable individual whom did not legally have access to these weapons/ tools in the first place. They had used his actions as a catalyst to ??? reform the sport. BS !
Our continent has been under the sea, a tropical paradise to a mostly dry and continually evolving landscape. The diggings of the weekend prospector may not impact the bush as much as the cans, stubbies, chip packets, spray paint etc and a few rogue 4 wheel drivers. But lets not give anyone any reason to lobby against prospecting.
