Sapphire

We landed in Sapphire on Thursday last week. Staying at Blue Gem Caravan Park. I have already given this caravan park a 5 star google rating.

Nick the part owner of the park has outstanding customer service down pat.

My birthday was on Saturday 19th. Kath and Mick have come from Bauple to spend the week with us and having them here for my birthday with my son Jade and my gorgeous daughter inlaw Lisa was a perfectly relaxing chilled day.

We went exploring around Sappire and Rubyvale yesterday. Some really cool art and crafts and silliness. Obviously some seriously awesome sapphires and jewellery that I need to win lotto to buy. And an outstanding lunch at the pub in Rubyvale.

Today we started with a tour and talk about fossicking for sapphires and gems with the very knowledgeable Matt from the caravan park. This is no ordinary tour type thing. Its really showing you how to wash and what to look for. Mick was at it all day. We have a little bag of sapphires. I found 3 little green ones. Mick found a tiny purple one. Quite rare. Then dropped and lost the second larger purple he found. But we will do more tomorrow.

A great day. Still have a few more sleeps here.Read more
