Gem Tree

Gem Tree 28th June

 

We stayed in a huge park here with a great campfire and fruit trees which we were told to help ourselves to. Beautiful oranges and lemons.

We booked a tour to go fossiking for garnets and were provided with all the tools we needed and were given a crash course in identifying gems and the soil to find them in. Five hours later, covered in mud, hot and dusty, we returned with our treasures. All of us had 'cutters' and were pleased with our efforts, but no one made a fortune!
