[QUOTE="budgie6000, post: 410173, member: 12562"] Hi guys, new to the forums which I've just stumbled across whilst doing some Googling.. In August, the wife and I are taking off on an 8 week trip, travelling from Perth up to Cape York. En-route we'll spend a few days at Gemtree chasing some zircons and garnet, as we've been there before and love the place. From Gemtree, we'll then head towards the Cairns, hopefully making it to the Cape, before we start making our way home. Whilst our trip is 'general adventure', and not strictly a gem hunting gig, we had planned to spend a couple of days around the gemfields in Rubyvale for a fossick, and we're then heading down through Lightening Ridge for a quick noodle before heading home across the Nullarbor. Our rough trip route is as follows and we'd love to find some Topaz or Sapphire to add to our rough gem collection, so would really appreciate any tips or advice on some good areas to try along our way.
