AAARRRGGGHHHH would have loved to go I enjoy the different discoveries down that way but just returned from rubyvale area with some saphs and wife just getting over pneumonia. Good luck good weather for a dig.

Hey Lonewolf,
I would have loved to come down but the logistics of having a young fella and a wife that just got full time work have grounded me.... and I had just got acclimatised to sub-zero temperatures after a week working in the hills of Cootamundra.
Next year. :Y:

If you get out to Stannifer, JELLY BEAN JUNCTION will be open, old tin mining relics, maps and info for fossicking around Stannifer.
Has nice display of crystals found in that area plus numerous bits and pieces for lapidary work.
On the main road through Stannifer. Good luck to all who are going, you will have a great time. RR
Got the kangaroo at the moment, so can't get out, but then again............

Hey LW, picture this. I rock up to the sign in table and introduce myself to Bob. "Hey mate stoked to be here but I'm keen to meet this fellow that calls himself Lone Wolf". Well his head goes back, his head goes forward into his hands. His head starts shaking then his shoulders start shaking then he lifts his face and tells me the story of your car troubles. To this day I don't know if he was laughing or crying. :lol: . What he did do though was tell everyone around how big a part you played in finding the local for the day, so thank you mate and sorry you didn't make it. I had tyre troubles on the way out and a broken phone from the day before but had a ball none the less. More importantly for me my son loved it. Will post pics when I get a chance.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Sorry Squint, I just found this.... :lol: ...
Yes lots of Research done by Me, and lots of leg work by Bob... It was fun finding a place and then sending Bob out to find it... :koala:

I have since been down twice and have located other places for Gemorama 2020.... Stay Tuned....

If You want to visit there or if any one else wants to visit BEFORE Gemorama 2020, Send Me a PM and I will arrange your Visit... ickshovel:

May even organise a PA Meet-up when it warms up if anyone is interested??

Keep us posted LW

 

[LONEWOLF]

Always Ray, After this years event im sure our numbers will only grow... Everyone who attended this year had so much fun and a lot were newbies to Fossicking and are returning next year...

That's part of the whole idea, is to introduce newbies to the Fun of Fossicking... and finding stuff, instead of Not finding stuff like a lot of other events around the area..

The Property visited this year has enough Goodies to last quite a few more years yet, and we are doing some more ground work to find more locations on the same property...

There is no better joy seeing a young one find their first Crystal or Mineral.... The look on their faces is worth it all....

Funding for next year has also increased by a generous Glen Innes Shire Council....

... So that means Gemorama is only going to get bigger and better as time goes on....

A few more Traders are also getting interested in attending next year as our numbers grow as well....

Thinking we might put this in the holiday plans for next year, missed this year but 2018 was terrific. Now we have the camper up and going, will be easier with a lot less traveling, better able to enjoy a :beer: :beer: or :beer: :beer: :beer: around the :fire: layful:

 

[LONEWOLF]

Might have to do a bit of Tree branch trimming if you want to bring Lizzie in Dihusky.... How tall is She?

That's our next job, widening the tracks... Not every-one likes the Bush Pinstripe.....
