Saturday saw the main party depart from various points in south east Queensland and northern New South Wales for the 2009 major field trip of the North Brisbane Lapidary Club.
An eventful trip from Morayfield to Dalby with Milton blowin a tyre on his caravan outside of Kilcoy. By the time we got to Dalby the spare tyre had also started to delaminate. Milton had to drop out of the convoy and go for spares. At the same time Ray and Toni had a problem with their motor home and decided to have it checked in Dalby.
At Roma, Ray and Jeanine, and Jane and Joel were joined by Colin and Margaret, Ross and Wanda and Barry and Dawn from Hervey Bay Club.
The main convoy arrived in Injune by 3.30pm with Ray and Toni and Milton arriving just on dark after 5pm.
An early start the next day was too much for Jane and oel who decided to sleep in and miss the early morning sub ten degree chilly start.
The rest of the convoy made their way to Springsure and by 12.30 we were setting out for the Labradorite dig.
We spent 3 hours in the creek mainly specking, but Ross and Colin did fairly well by sieving in the bottom of the Creek. Everyone got several nice sized cutters, but Dawn bagged the biggest stone with a water worn piece a bit smaller than a golf ball.

- I have been interested in lapidary since joining a rock club at Maryborough Boys high School in 1966. although the passion was on the back burner while our family was growing up, my interest was rekindled when I joined North Brisbane Lapidary Club 10 years ago.
