The petition is trying to get support to allow prospecting and fossicking in Queensland state forests. This will allow the growth of this past time in Queensland, and bring in valuable tourist dollars to Queensland.
This petition is intended to show the Queensland government of the support in wider community for fossicking.
There has been a slow erosion of prospector’s rights across Australia, with the Northern Territory and Tasmania being the latest to bring in rules heavily restricting fossicking and prospecting.
Like Hunters, shooters, 4 wheel drivers and other outdoor pursuits Australians are finding the areas they can go are becoming smaller and smaller.
