[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 410774, member: 11720"] You might like to go to Tomalla: [url]https://www.google.com/maps/@-31.7044686,151.2451604,60783m/data=!3m1!1e3[/url] and fossick in the creek alongside the roadway that runs beside the creek and across it on several occasions. This is an area which contains fossils of dinosaurs and marble. "Sapphires are reported to have been obtained from Holocene alluvial deposits in the creeks draining Barrington Tops and Gloucester Tops. The sapphires are mainly blue but many reddish to mauve gems are present. Some of the red gems have been positively identified as rubies." Locations such as: [url]https://www.google.com/maps/@-31.9117257,151.5200709,1028m/data=!3m1!1e3[/url] are worth exploration. [/QUOTE]
