[QUOTE="Aldo, post: 32973, member: 764"] Hi Matty, I've been out to Robertson and the Wingecarribee River on 4-5 occasions in the last 4 months with no luck other than a few small zircons and no visible spinel or heavier stones in the sieve. I'm sure I have read the same literature that you stated above as well as visiting the Sydney Museum which have more detailed maps of the area, information I found led me to believe there should be some blue stones there and hence the reason I went back so many times to come up empty handed. A point of interest was Southey's Mine which is located near Robertson, however is not accessible anymore, signage around that area stating $11000 trespass fine!! Not my cup of tea.. Yesterday my wife Jo and I went out to Kangaroo Valley River's upper reaches to further investigate the so called "blue" sightings that I read may have washed over the Fitzroy Falls area however found only petrified wood and other stones of no interest. We searched around Mt Alexander and "the Gib" which was apparently a volcanic precinct back in the day to no avail. Matty, good luck with future searches in the area, I hope I haven't disheartened you regarding this region - would love for you to report a find around there. I'll stick to GG for now, we never come home empty handed, thanks Wal and G'day C & L from Tim & Jo. [/QUOTE]
