For those of you in Eastern Australia (And especially for those going to the huge Emerald show in two weeks - I would like to let you know that I will be at Cooloola Rockfest this weekend 6th, 7th and 8th.
It is just south of Gympie and about two hours drive north of Brisbane.
Here is some photos from last years show:

I am not sure what, if any, meteorites that I will be bringing but if there will be meteorite people there let me know.
Should be a good time and would be great to meet some of my many Australian customers. Maybe we can do in a guinness or two (Or three).
For those non australian list members the winter in australia is an exciting time for rockhounds. For around three months you can drive around and go to a different rock show almost every weekend if you wanted to. Weather is not to hot, its the dry season, the snakes are all hibernating, and rockhounds all congregate.
This cooloola show is one of the better shows on the rock curcuit.
I wont be going to Emerald the following weekend for the grand show but if you do be sure to go looking for sapphires. They are really easy to find and even my four year old found several dozen sapphires in a couple hours of searching.
Should be a grand time and hope that I can see at least a few list members at cooloola this weekend
Cheers
DEAN
