Have any Exploroz people fossicked close to
Emerald in QLd?
We are heading that way in 3 weeks, and hope to spend a few days
fossicking for gems. I know of several sites out further (near
Anakie,
Rubyvale etc), but was told there is a site about 7 Klms from
Emerald.
From there, we are off to
Georgetown and Croyden for a bit of gold prospecting with a metal detector :)
All suggestions appreciated..............Thanks...........Keith

Two good caravan parks at
Rubyvale, plus a good pub. Especially at happy hour on Friday nights. Plenty of cheap camping on the public
gemfields in the vicinity. Sometimes free. Depends on whether the
Ranger visits or not. No water though. Public water point in
Sapphire though. Good place to spend a Southern Winter, and there's always a few good stones found. But the big ones have eluded me so far. Then again there's still this Winter to come. Good luck.
