Field Trips

If you are interested in fossicking/gem cutting/lapidary work, consider joining a club. Being a member of a gem club can provide an introduction to a great hobby for people of all ages.

This site is managed on a voluntary basis. If you find any problems in using the site please contact us (e-mail preferred). If you do not get a reply or if the problem is not remedied within a few days it is probably because I am away interstate fossicking, at the AFG seminar or bush walking etc. I will attend to any problems as soon as I can.
