[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 289748, member: 4386"] I figured there had to be basalts near ther upper Fitzroy River because of my predjudices re pet wood origin.

The weir on the Fitzroy is straight west from MT Hay on the easternmost poinht of the big loop: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4386/1478926864_upperfitzroy.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
