[QUOTE="boobook, post: 35908, member: 1605"] About 20km. out of Glen Innes is Bullock Mountain, a property on Reddestone creek and the Beardy river. Owned by Steve and Alison Wood they have a nom. charge for fossicking in the creek with some good stones found there. On the site of an old commercial sapphire mine there is still a lot of virgin ground, some of the best stones coming from a cemented wash which whilst taking a bit of digging into then breaks down in the seives. Some nice zircon also there with plenty of spinel (blackjack). In the old mine excavations in the creek are some whopping redfin, yellowbelly and cod (catch and release only) in the actual river. Great camp spots also. You do need a 4wd to get to it though. They are very good friends of ours and great people to know. Steve, Alison or Jo can be contacted on 02 67321599 Mike [/QUOTE]
