Hi Madhawk, went up your way about five years ago, found a couple of small rubies and a couple of small sapphires in Paddys River, threw a couple of sapphires away (damn) didn't realise they were party's. Whats the temperature like up there at the moment. Ive been told about the Tooma Gravels by a retired Geologist mate of mine, have you ever done any digging around there.
