Got the detector now for the next step

Hi,
I have been looking around where I can actually go and use my detector and have a few very basic questions I hope some one can help with
I am specifically looking for areas around the ACT area but the questions are general.

1. Apparently you can go and fossick in designated fossicking areas, how,where do I find details of this. For example: I believe Braidwood is one place but where exactly in Braidwood.

2. You can go and fossick in NSW state forests if you have a special permit.
Do you need a different permit for different state forests or just one for all (this was mentioned in another thread)
