[QUOTE="Guest, post: 76435"] Went up to Barrington yesterday for another look around back to an old spot I was shown years ago. I have since discovered that the area I was shown and have been fossicking in is just inside the Barrington State Conservation Area. I will have to follow the river further down next time to see of the gems are further downstream outside of the no go zone. There is evidence that others have been there as well. The sapphires/zircons are very small and although look great are worthless, larger examples are few and far between. I think my time would be better spent chasing gold, its harsh climate and roads up there and a similar travel time even though its only 200kms from Newcastle it takes 3 hours due to the trip up the mountain and the road conditions. The was still remnant's of last weekends snow as well. The water was that cold on the hands it felt like it was burning! Please enjoy the beautiful Barrington gravels photos.
