Stayed in cloncurry for a cupla days,

day 1 arrived in the afternoon and the heavens opened up

day2 went to the local museum and spoke to the ladies about Garnets, she said not to go if the rain is happening
heavens opened again in the afternoon

day3 took a drive to quamby and there was water in a lot of the creeks and some were flowing, stopped at the crystal hill for a scratch, found a long trench at the base of the hill, had a scratch in the trench to no avail..
sat down and had a drink and saw a lot of small points and bits and pieces of quarts, most of which were crumbling with a bit of hand pressure, still a lot of fine points though,

Changed our mind about the drive to fffff river, didnt want to chance the weather down there.

left for townsville next day, drove through a few heavy squalls on the way

It looks like you got some zigzag there. Nice work. Try Kuridala if you are in the area again.Very nice amethyst crystals available for just a bit of digging and the track in is not too bad either.
