This is 7 oaks more a mining site than a tourist attraction you can hire a trommels or just rough it and the sapphires are more frequent here the last photo is of the small car park  
I also have 5 bags of the 7 oaks sapphire wash to sieve out  cheers all |

Hope you have a few cutters waiting for you in that wash.
Looks like a beautiful day, were you still up that way when the storms hit?

These are the others from the Rosemeadow trip 
About equal men an women on most trips and as there were no toilets on any of the trips around Glen Innes it made it hard for a pit stop in the bush either that or a drive back to Glen for a pit stop on a comfortable loo which suited me just fine LOL cheers all
