Looking for rocks

[Rocksforschool]

Hi Everyone

Im on the hunt for some rocks for a primary school science project, close to Perth.
Hoping you might be able to suggest some ideas of where to hunt for find something unusual. /special for a very interested 9year old?

If you click on the link below and then on the red button marked "DOWNLOAD PDF" near the bottom of the linked page, you'll get a freely downloadable copy of Mineral Resources Bulletin 25, Gemstones of Western Australia, all 328 pages of it! More info than you could ever want or need, I'd suspect:

http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Gemstones-of-Western-Australia-1653.aspx

TL;DR: There's not much of interest that's conveniently near Perth and surrounds. Some crystalline forms of quartz have been found, but on private property:

Yes but I think that a member without 10 posts does not have access to the downloads section. Not sure.
