Australia has similar legislation in so far as the sea shore is concerned and all fresh water is open to all for any purpose (except for resevoirs) with the only priviso being that anglers have to have a fresh water fishing licence issued by the State.
The general public cannot be excluded from access t o the seashore or salt water above a certain mark or freshwater rivers and streams and the landowner can only complain if the visitor causes damage to crops or livestock or leaves gates open that should be shut and shut that should be open.
