Spent a day at these two places after leaving Emerald. Billeee, Jules, Mel, Steve and I went to Pat's Gems and did a gem wash, where we washed the dirt of and scanned the stones looking for Sapphires. Hard work and wouldn't want to be out on the fields trying to make my fortune.
Had a great day at this particular place starting with a nice breakfast of Bacon and Eggs, buying myself a gorgeous green opal pendant for $20 and ending with finding 5 pieces in my bucket of wash.
This is the convoy ready to leave Emerald the day before heading to Sapphire.
Had a very interesting overnight stay in Sapphire. We spread ourselves around the camping area and relaxed. Noticed cattle walking through in the evening and 3 horses visited in the morning. Fed the horses some cut up apple. The white one didn't want any so the two bays ended up with more than their share.
Also visited Rubyvale 5 ks further on. Not a lot happening there, it was Anzac Day. Stopped for an ice cream, saw a beautiful herd of Angora goats with huge horns on the way there.
Moved on this morning Saturday for Jericho where we will stay 2 or more days.
