Default Emerald Tours/Tracks

Hi all,
We are headin up to Emerald in Sept/October and would love to know if there is any tracks up there. Obviously fossiking will be on the agenda along with other activities, compared to the black stuff. If you can help in way of plots, tracks, ect would be appreciated or just some good old fashion advice. Thanks in advance.

Email ozi tracks to quozie@optusnet.com.au

Hey Quozie, not sure if you have been there before or not, but i would suggest staying at Rubyvale as we found it much nicer than Sapphire. Rubyvale caravan park was a nice little spot with lots of bird life that will happily share your breakfast with you. We didn't spend a lot of time there, 3 nights but we had a good look around, the Rubyvale pub was a nice place and meals were quite good too and so was the beer. As time didn't really permit we weren't looking for any decent tracks, however the terrain out there would be good if you have the time to look for them.

My suggestion for a fossic would be Miners Heritage at Rubyvale and the tour they do is very informative and interesting.

Hope you find some tracks

Cheers
Jay

From Hervey Bay....We will probably head in via Bannana and head in from the south rather than via Blackwater

Was up there a few years ago and agree with 4x4junki to stay in Rubyvale. At time of the year it still is coldist at nights but hot in the day. you will need heaps of water and shade if you are looking for stones. The tracks I saw were tame but heaps of them.
Coming back down via Carnarvon is nice too. Some photos up in the link below

Quozie, Keep in touch with the details. Wouldn't mind a trip out that way. Be good to see you again too.
