MAP Reference Indicators

Hi All,

Just wondering if any one knows what " B.R. " means on a DSE map??

What I have done is use Forest Explorer 4.1 ( Link via DSE site ) and searched an area that I thought might hold gold and then I tried to find out if it is private or state land.

The parcel of lane came up and it " looks like it is state land, but there is a reference number PXXXXXX B.R. ( Sorry don't want to give to much away at this stage) and it is the B.R that I don't know what it means??

Can anyone help, first right reply will be given the area that I'm looking at as I know you get nothing for nothing these day.

Thanks

Pete

If its for VIC then use GeoVic - Explore Victoria Online click on the link below and then choose Explore Victoria Online

you can get lots of things on the map that is displayed and crown land, reserves forrests etc can be displayed, along with gold diggings deep and shallow leads, mines etc.

The B.R may simply be short for bush reserve

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reply I'm had a look at GeoVic site and as you said there is heaps of info there.

I have found the area that I'm looking at and the areas show the following,
Reserver - direct Management
No Direct leases on the land such as access or water rights
It shows a government road running through it

Do you thinks I could prospect on it as I cannot find anything else about this land??

Do you know of any CLEAR web site that tell you what you can and cannot do on crown land / state forest as I did hear a wisper that you can only pan in this area??

Thanks

Peter

M3800, just a note to say that you can take images from that website and overlay onto google earth, very handy!!!!
