Stratford Agates

G'day

Any of you fellow Hunter hunters been for a squiz out here?

Geology of the Barrington Tops Plateau by Lin Sutherland and Ian Graham. p. 12 states " Along Dog Trap road, 4 km east of Stratford, rhyolites of ther Alum Mountain Volcanics contain quartz-lined geodes, some of which contain well-formed flourite crystals. ...... Associated with this are amethyst-lined geodes, agates and thunder eggs. Geodes as large as 40kg in weight have been reported from here."

The colliery now cuts off Dog Trap rd. but you can still access it from Wenham Cox rd. (all this info pinched from the ALFers forum. thanks)

Any reports? if not, who's up for a day trip sometime?

Cheers

Hey Chimpy,

Is that Stratford in Victoria? If so do you have any further information on the area your interested in?
