Hello All

I'm heading off mid next week for a three week trip to the QLD gemfields, up to the Richmond area and then if I'm lucky Karumba.
Richmond is up the top of my list for fossils, something I've always wanted to collect but never managed to make the trip.
What equipment should I take? Any information welcome.

The weather's not looking idea for camping in central QLD at the moment which may put a dampener on the trip.
Anyone in Sapphire area, Longreach, or Diamantina?

Thanks
 
8) Just spotted this post AJS, welcome to the forum, and how did you go out there on your trip, hope someone out that way was able to help you out a bit on the search ! :D
 
i realise this is an old thread, however, it is one of the best areas to look for fossils. Well, up tp last September, that is. The 2 council quarries are still accesible but the cocky at Silver Hills has fenced a lot of land off.

Left side quarry a bit off the road.

Cheers, Bobj.
