Tales and Treasures of the Australian Outback

Send us Fan Mail This week we’re continuing our Road to Riches road trip, heading east to the Sapphire Gemfields of Central Queensland. We camp overnight in a little forgotten Outback town, famous for its incredible petrified wood forests, before pushing on to Rubyvale in the heart of the Sapphire Gemfields. We enjoy a great couple of days hunting for gemstones, meeting the locals and exploring the region, camping up at the Gem Seekers Caravan Park right in town. We stop in to the Rubyvale Gem Gallery to catch up with our good friends, the Brown family, and enjoy a meal or two at the Rubyvale Pub. If you love a good treasure hunt, you’ll love a visit to this quirky region of Central Australia!
