UP-COMING EVENT.......GEM SHOW, IN CONJUCTION WITH DAFFODIL FESTIVAL........

 

It is just a way of life for some people, To get up at the crack of dawn and be out at the diggings in the early morning. It is much better if you have someone to dig for you (haha) and sift through the dirt to find that stone shining at you is very rewarding.

As members of the "Gem Club" you get to travelto places that you would not dream of or know about how to get there. It is amazing what can be found under the ground. Some of us have been known to walk for miles in search of a serious piece of petrified wood, Other members have had some luck with their gold pans in rivers, no-one has ever heard of. But Eldorado is a good place to start. One of our members spent weeks at Yowah and got some very nice samples of Opal.

Our Club is just like a close knit community..

If you think this is something you would like to do just contact us by Phone or Email..

 

At our lapidary display to be held in conjuction with the Daffodil Festival In Leongatha in August, You will find examples of stones from Australia wide which our members have collected on their travels.
