g'day everyone, my father and i went to kookabookra for the day a while back, these are some of the pieces collected, any help is appreciated!
(i can upload more photos if needed) :)

This rock was actually found at yarrow creek, it is all colors of green through to black and is quite heavy.

This one was found at kooka, it looks a bit but glows with the right angle and light.

This one i also found at kooka, i was quite surprised to find it there as i knew nothing of petrified wood in the area,
can i get any confirmation on weather it is or not?

Someone will soon come along and be able to help you, but it is all very beautiful.
Good luck

Nice finds, top Green one looks like Peridot or Olivine, middle looks like Topaz and Petrified Wood is the other, well done.

+1.

The first is a peridot/spinel xenolith, by the looks of it. They usually come up in basalt. 2 looks like topaz or rock crystal. 3 petrified wood.
