ON THE ROAD WITH THE FEEL GOOD FAMILY

CENTRAL QUEENSLAND ESCAPE !

This is a family-friendly fossicking experience , and there are camping and caravan sites to stay overnight . Our four-year-old , Jasper , especially loved this experience and it is super safe for the kids to get dirty and have fun looking for their very own piece of treasure !

SAPPHIRE GEMFIELDS

Located in Queensland ’ s Central Highlands , the Sapphire Gemfields are an easy 45-minute drive west of Emerald and cover almost 900 square kilometres . We visited Rubyvale Miners Heritage , Australia ’ s largest underground walk-in sapphire mine experience and had a fantastic time trying our hand at fossicking .

There are plenty of accommodation options in the region , including caravan parks and camping . We stayed at the Lake Maraboon Holiday Village south of Emerald on the Fairburn Dam .

Be sure to stop into the Rubyvale Gem Gallery to meet the Brown family and view their range of bespoke jewellery , featuring some of the world ’ s best gemstones mined directly from their Rubyvale family mine .
