[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 80594, member: 157"] G'day all, I'm currently at Horsham setting up for the Horsham & District Gem and Mineral Club annual Open day and Gem Show. The Horsham Club has only recently returned from a field trip and there have been changes to the access to the Mt Shadwell Quarry. I've copied the following from the Warrnambool Gem Club web site which relates to the current access [url]http://members.westvic.com.au/wgemclub/fossicking.html[/url] "The Mount Shadwell quarry (operated by the Moyne shire) which is located at Mortlake, which is some 45km inland (north) of Warrnambool. The quarry produces road making materials (different grades of scoria). In the quarry volcanic "bombs" can be found, some of which contain gem peridot. MOYNE SHIRE HAS RECENTLY (May 2014) REDUCED ACCESS TO THE QUARRY. VISITING FOSSICKERS CAN ONLY ACCESS THE QUARRY ON FRIDAYS (go to the Shire offices in Mortlake to sign in first, wear sturdy footwear and flouro vests) OR WEEKENDS BY PRIOR APPOINTMENT THROUGH THE SHIRE COUNCIL.
