    Amazing scenery, lovely hosts, and struck gold

    Or sapphires ;) we found on our second visit that we hit the jackpot, about 10 stones of really good quality. It's best to go on bright sunny days, have patience. We've found a variety of colors too. I'm looking forward to going again soon!

    Woohoo its open again....now called Billabong Blue

    Re-opened as Billabong Blue this is the best place to fossick for sapphires in the Inverell area. Just a bit further down the road from 7 Oaks is this amazing place. Unlike 7 Oaks one can easily drive to the fossick area. Continue down kings...More
