Not sure if that was supposed to be a joke or what. I keep getting the link back to the link and it never goes to photos. Weird.

Hi Porky Yes plenty You have a fantastic country the mineral wealth is amazing Mike sent me most of the above except for the Monkite ,Palm wood and the Lacy Agate ? which George gave me , we went to Lightening ridge fantastic so arid and hot 48C !! and came back through Tamworth Brilliant how the scenery changed and got greener all the way back . What sort of rock have you down there inVictoria ? I also bought a few of these from Garry who was very helpfull and gave me a lot of good advice on dealing with Opal Opal Wilderness, Shop 2/7 Opal Street, P.O.Box 1337, Ph. 02 68 294482 Lightning Ridge N.S.W. 2834 Australia opalwilderness@bigpond.com  These should keep me busy for a while have a good day Jack Yorkshire uk |

Ohh yeah Jack you have got plenty of colour there, I also went to the Ridge at Christnas and got a nice haul I was specking and it rained most of the time I was there so made for good specking but I had to leave early so I wouldn't get flooded in
In vic there are areas of good red jasper , agates marble with fossils , wood, shark teeth and probably lots more. I live over west Vic and there isn't much except what I get at gemshows etc There is also lots of gold but I have never found any of that .ppork

Hi PPorky I wish it had rained when we were at LR it was 48C when we were there, and when we left Newcastle UK it was only 5C quite a shock to the system Interested that you have good rocks down with you also There is a good range in UK but not Gem quality or big , although in Scotland they have wonderfull Agates amazing colours Heres a link if your interested www.agatesofscotland.co.uk/I still prefer the sunshine prospecting of Australia though !!!!!
