[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 378425, member: 211"] This is probably a bit late for you but for your further info; I was there a few months back, The main entrance was closed as they were logging at the time, there is a second round-about way ( which a kindly forestry worker told us of after finding us wandering up and down the road before the "Road Closed for Logging" sign, This route takes you to what looks like an old tin mining area with huge piles of decomposed granite over grown with trees. I noted where others have dig into these piles looking for quarts, topaz etc. As I understand it, topaz there is rare though, info you find "talks it up" an bit too much. We did find a few poor quality worn smokey quartz pieces not much better than road gravel. Un-aware if any other public fossicking areas round Stanthorpe. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
