[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 441160, member: 2976"] Welcome to the forum outbacktinker :Y: Pat and Dave's suggestions are on the money I think. Once you're familiar with some basic stuff, this could be a handy resource - [url=https://macrostrat.org/map/#14/-26.6280/153.0313]Macrostat geological maps[/url]. The link currently has it focused on the Sunshine coast, you can drag it around to anywhere in Australia, zoom in/out etc. Drag it over your area and click on the different coloured parts of the map and it will tell you what the geology of that area is - the geology of an area dictates what sorts of things might [i]potentially[/i] be found there. Any geology that is [i]igneous[/i] is worth investigating for gemmy possibilities. Cheers [/QUOTE]
