Tres Butch

We have arrived at Sapphire in outback Qld and as the name suggests it is the centre of sapphires and Zircon etc. off we headed to make our fortune and as you can see fully armed with the necessary equipment. Day one we found one almost decent one and lots of bits and pieces and today we found a big zircon and some little sapphires. We have dropped two off to the gem cutter so stand by for more pics.

The weather here is HOT, HOT HOT during the day and then a 30 degree plummet of an evening to dam cold, touching on brass monkey weather. For the first time we have heaters and blankets at night and fans etc during the day.
