Hi
John and Val,
We are like you when it comes to
fossicking. Amateurs.
We plan to stay at the
Cloncurry Oasis CP in June and thought that your amethyst
fossicking sounded interesting.
Is it possible to post the directions to get to that site and could it be done as a day trip from Oasis CP.
Thanks for any info.

Hi Wayne,
A day trip from
Cloncurry would be a very full day, especially if you did a bit of exploring along the way. The 5 or 10 km in to the amethyst field is a bit challenging, though nothing that a capable 4WD can't handle.
Do you use OziExplorer? If so, we'd be happy to send you our Ozi track which will define the exact location of the field. Alternatively we could send you a file for viewing on Google Earth, but that's not a lot of help once you are on the ground.
Cheers
John | J and V
