Mount Hay Fossicking - QLD

Visitors can fossick through piles of thunderegg – bearing material which is excavated from the nearby mine site, and transported to a safe area suitable for all ages. Visitors are given a bag for their stones, a tool to fossick, and shown what to look for. Any stones collected can be kept, and upon completion of their search, each person can have a couple of stones cut for free. Extra cutting is available at extra cost. Fees apply for fossicking, and enclosed footwear is required. No fixed starting times or bookings required but we suggest arriving by 2pm at the latest to enjoy the full fossicking experience. Our hours of operation are 7 days a week, 9am to 4:30pm. Pets allowed if kept under control.
