Minerama - Glen Innes

[Jimnyjerry]

Can guess most but more info on the field trips would be appreciated.

I agree with Jimnyjerry, the usual info on field trips apppears to be missing.   This puzzled me as I like to drool over where I want to go before I make up my mind.

A few people have pointed this out to committee but I think they have had some trouble with their field trip convenor resigning at late notice so some info late in coming.  Hopefully will be added at some point (hopefully soon).

Would encourage anyone with feedback on the website (such as this comment) to pass it on directly via the contact form as this will help them know what the visitors are looking for.

New website is certainly far more attractive than the old one but there are some areas that could be improved IMHO.

Hi, this will be the first time to the area for us, we r very excited, should we book the field trips online? I was hoping to book when we arrive (on the tue?) in glen Innes as we live in qld and a bit wary at that time of the year we have big floods and don't want to be flooded in and miss out on coming down and losing our money..... Cheers.

Saw the brochure for this year's Minerama, looks great and now I want to go even more.  They have a full list of field trips in it and they read very well.

Are we geiger friendly this year ? I think I caught a few people off guard last year

There wasn't a lot of radioactive stuff to be found so I had to make the trip worthwhile by searching tables and stalls where I wouldn't normally look. The trailers of misc tailings and boulders are getting more interesting each year.

I'll be going to check this site out maybe next Sat. Its the opposite side of the Highway to the free fossicking area around the bridge area.
Went to Bezzants Rd site yesterday & those after molybdenite or quartz crystals will find plenty to keep them happy.
I passed on to the committee about info on each site so hopefully this will be done this week.

There was a Minerama trip there one year when I didn't organise the trips. It was probably 1997. I understand it was a fizzer. I recall that a bit of petrified wood was found but not much else. Hope my memory is wrong this time though!

yay

There was also an Emmavile field trip there in the 2000's some time. Biggest thing seen was a red bellied black.

Last time I was at Bezzants Road there was a huge red belly in one of the granite boulder piles. Luckily there were plenty of other areas to go to.
