The weather is starting to warm up a bit during the day, so we headed to Lake Maraboon.  Got a few redclaw, not as many as others, but still, got a few. 

We then went onto Emerald, Sapphire and Rubyvale where we went on a heritage mine tour and learnt all about sapphires and about the area.  We tried our luck at searching for gems, had a bit of luck with getting a few worthwhile stones and lots of little ones that look pretty. 

We are now at Lake Awoonga, heading to Baffle Creek where the fishing might be better.  This fresh water fishing has not been very successful so far.  Hopefully the salt and sand will make it better!!

Loved staying amongst the old crap!!!  Biloela
