Preparing for the trip to the Central Queensland gem feilds for GEMFEST - 'FESTIVAL OF GEMS'. Car fridge sorted, servicing all the geasable bits, oily bits, rubbery bits...

Will have a bit more time up our sleves to do some fossicking hopefully for gold and gemstones this time around. I have a pan, sieve and shovel, just need someone to point at the spot to dig 😅

Cannot wait to get there and have a play in the dirt.
