Access: Restricted.
In New South Wales, historical relics (archaeological material generally over 50 years old) are legally protected under the Heritage Act 1977, and disturbing a relic can require an excavation permit or approval from Heritage NSW. Aboriginal objects and places are strongly protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and must never be disturbed. Digging on private land needs the owner's written permission; fossicking for gold or relics needs the correct fossicking authorisation and is only allowed in designated areas, while much Crown land, reserves and national parks are restricted or off limits. The Rocks is a declared heritage precinct where ground disturbance is tightly controlled.
