Gemstones near perth?

[justoverthehill]

Has anyone found any amethyst crystals close to Perth?

I was thinking about taking my kids to a spot on the river in Avon valley to look for some gemstones but wanted to ask if anyone has had luck there or do I need to go to a completely different spot? Would love to find a spot to dig up some quarts crystals as well?
