[QUOTE="casper, post: 33887, member: 562"] re the bottom bit ..... back when i was a "billy lid" (aka "a kid") and only 50 short years ago :lol: GEM HUNTING was a huge hobby and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria where i lived delivered up quite nice Garnets. Also Sapphire, Ruby and Zircon too! Point Leo beach was one of the hot spots for fossickers where the gem bearing gravel strata could be found just 2 feet beneath the sand. There is (was) a gold occurrence at Tubbarubba / Bulldog Creeks and these creeks like others on the peninsula also delivered up fine gems but those outside the NP are no longer accessible unless you approach the land owners. Dont take a backhoe onto the beach and i'm sure you'll be fine ..... onebob [/QUOTE]
