[QUOTE="travelergold, post: 247844, member: 5200"] Hi phantom83, there is opalised wood in the area. We have an uncle that has opalised wood (also petrified wood) on his farm and colected some a few years ago. We know that he will NOT let anybody on there to collect / fossick as he told us was his retirement fund. We has a small bit cut and it is outstanding, much like real opal. The opal goes right through the lumps. In one spot you could basically see the whole tree laying there with dirt washed out over the millions of years leaving it very exposed. The larger bits would have been nearly a foot thick and longest bits about 20 inches long, the limbs and trunk was all broken up like it had been dropped from a height and was just laying there. I am sure if you look around the area there will be lots more, just a matter of getting permission to enter private ground. TG [/QUOTE]
