[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 3067, member: 157"] Moonlight Heads was great 30 years ago but fossicking on the beach no longer allowed - like many places. We used to stay at Lavers Hill not far from the track down to the beach. You can still find nice gemstones in the pebbles that are washed up there I've got a lot of agates, Jet and what looks like Rhyolite that I have tumbled from the area when you could collect- I've also picked up Petrified Wood and blue chalcedony at the back of the Erskine falls. There are many creeks in the Otways that are worth a stroll around - I hope you get lucky. Dan as you are based in Geelong give one of the local clubs a ring - The Geelong Gem Club used to have field trips to the Otways - I went on a few with them when I lived down there.
