Safety Message

TOURISTS, VISITORS and FOSSICKERS

The WCMA acknowledges the right to fossick anywhere on the Reserve under the auspices of the mining act of 1992, and no licence is required. However permission is required from the holder of a claim to fossick on any registered claim.

A Registered Claim is usually square in shape and 50×50 metres in size with a wooden or steel post at each corner. On the NE post is a datum board, which contains the details of the claim holder.

There is a vast amount of unregistered ground on the Historic Mining Reserve, but please remember SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT and is the responsibility of the visitor. Children are especially vulnerable and need to be carefully supervised at all times as there are many hidden hazards.

GOOD LUCK and ENJOY YOUR STAY
