Have a good time RockHunter. :)

It is still on my wish list.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Have a good trip Rock Hunter. I see the date your going is the same as the VGCA fossicking trip to Flinders Island. So I guess you'll be tagging along with George F. If past trips are anything to go by, you shouldn't be disappointed. Will be looking forward to reading about your trip too.  ;) :D

Just got a phone call from the ferry, going Sunday 3am = extra day fossicking with perfect tide ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Off to make more seives and mod a wheel barrow to carry all our gear on the beach. Not long now very excited  ;D. Might get some sleep when I get there and stop dreaming about digging topaz all night.

Just boarded the ferry for return trip.  Found a few bits of topaz, meet TheRockHunter this morning on the beach with the rest of the club. I was coming back from a very early morning trip to catch the low and they were just heading out fossicking.
Beautiful place, had an awesome time. Detailed report in the next few days.
Cheers
Andrew
