Cape York! It has been a dream of mine since I got into 4wding back in 2015 to visit Cape York, drive the Old Telegraph Track and get to the Northernmost Point of the Australian mainland! It was such a great time, despite me trying to kill the car, and the car trying to kill me a few times. 😅😂 I'll be back, with locktite on every nut and bolt! #fulltimetravel #lapofaus #lapofaustralia #blue #dj...

Nothing like the red soil and the blue clear skies out there !! ❤
Hey, I'm glad I found your channel. I'm more than happy to watch at normal speed. Makes it very hard to see what your finding when its in fast motion. I cut gems and hoping I can find some zircons in the future.
Great video! Super fun and interesting to watch. Love all the different minerals you found and how you explained them!
@@NeonShimmer thank you! I definitely had fun fossicking and making the video!
You sure found some beauties 😍 such a awesome experience.
@@AussieRockhoundingandAdventure thanks legends! Can't wait to do it all again soon!
Awesome thx 4 sharing 👍
No millions of years only a few hundred to thousand years…..
very nice, my dad live at the Willows for 10 years, the sapphires he found was amazing, have you tried divining for sapphires?
No I haven't! How do you do that??
@theyoungadventurer5145 it's just 2 piece's of either brazing wire or fencing wire with a 90 degree bend for your hands on one end. To start with you use a Sapphire in each hand where the wires touch it. Walk across the ground until the wires cross over each other. The Sapphire will be under the cross.
Hey mate, love what you do. Just wanted to know where shouild i head for sapphiers around rubyvale. Which fossicking area you dont recommend going with 2WD cars?
2wd cars can access most fossicking areas near the town of sapphire and rubyvale, closer to caravan parks. Ask the friendly locals when you go there!
What area was this at im going to go out an have a go with my kids always wanted to do this
This was at tomahawk Creek near sapphire, in Queensland's central gem fields
Holy cow there some good finds for sure😮 looks like a lot of fun, hope your loving it!
7:40 oh wow this things a beast 😂
Oi m8 I hope yoov got a loicence for date diggin!
Always!
Top stuff mate 👍
Beautiful video mate! Love it!!
Hey Damo, Fantastic footage you have of both sacred places. It really is the heartbeat of our great country out there. I was there about 4 weeks after you went. I was lucky enough to do a tour to both places and the information the tour guides out there give you is incredible. When you go into the “Kitchen” cave, at the entrance where the rock comes down to form a V to the ground, there is a little hole on the inside of the rock on the left hand side up about eye level. It is so smooth. It is where they kept certain bush “Spices” to cook with so essentially it’s known as the “Spice cupboard “. The rock has been worn away over thousands of years from fingers scooping out the food and the oils in the spices that was kept in there. It is also quite a lot cooler in there in summer. It is certainly an incredible place to see and one every Australian should try to do at least once in their lives. I know I already want to go back. Keep up the adventuring and stay safe. X 🤗
We absolutely loved Kings Canyon! Looking at this we’re sad we were to afraid to put our drone up 🥲. Hope you’re doing well!
I love hearing all of the birds singing in the background,nice drone footage 💕
Beautiful scenery!
Putting them in your mouth is a very good way to catch a micro-organic pathogen.
Hi ,its Mark and Helen hope your well we are in Kalgoorlie. Great video been there twice. 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎
Hi Mark and Helen! Thanks for all your help in Kakadu! Hope you are keeping well and enjoying the travels! :)
I've faceted several sapphires from Australia and they were saturated with color. The smaller stones should be stunning.
Thank you! Such beauty lies within our soils
I have cut a number of Australian sapphires, both faceted and star sapphires. The small stones found on the smaller sieve would be too small to be cuttable, but ok for specimens. Also most star sapphires to be found in QLD are very dark and nearly opaque, so don't be too quick to toss 'em!.
Thank you for the info! I will keep more of them next time I head back there! :)
It was great to see what could be found around Stanthorpe. Plus I have realised now what I found out at Tingha is Topaz not Quartz.
There are lots of hidden gems out there!
Nice video. get one of those cheap diamond tester with led bars (diamond selector 2), so you can quickly test the stone in place and if its sapphire then the led lights up to orange and red bars. It works with ruby too.
Thanks for the info! Luckily in the area I was fossicking in, there are heaps of sapphires of green, yellow and blue!
What would you do with found Sapphires? Does they have any value?
The vast majority of these ones I found in this video hold no commercial value, and they're not large enough to facet. They could be user as really cool aquarium gravel! Haha
Great video. It has inspired me to get out there and have a go.
Thanks Greg! Good luck with it all, happy fossicking!
Hi Damian, Its Mark and Helen i hope everything is good. Great video East and West of Alice Springs is so great had my birthday at the Trephina Gorge camped for 3 nights . 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲😎
Hey Damo, this was incredible. I could watch your drone footage for days !! I am heading out to Uluru on Saturday. I can't wait to see it all. Keep on trucking ! xx

@@kyrockhounder your welcome 😁
Nice work once again, mate. Love following the adventure.
Thanks Michael, hope you're well! :)
We recently went to the gem fest in sapphire and had a great time. Lots to see. What area did you search? We had a look at Glenalva but only found a few chips but had a good time doing it.
it is definitely a place you can spend weeks! I was in Tomahawk Creek fossicking area, quite remote and off-grid. Glad to hear you got some gems!
Been there many,many times,fliping is faster and better,go to Glenalva.
My partner and I just came back from a trip to Emerald and the gemfields of Sapphire and Rubyvale . We learned how to fossick for Sapphires at the 'Bobby Dazzler' Mine' where you buy a bucket of 'wash' for $20 and they teach you how to sift , wash and pick out the Sapphires . We are getting old but had a great time and brought home a handful of small sapphires . Also bought some bags of wash to sift through at home . Now ready to fossick on our own ! Good luck and have a great adventure !
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it is such a great skill to learn. Definitely lots of fun! I have more fun fossicking than most of my other hobbies :)
Good job. You have some nice gems !
Thank you! I had fun finding them!
It looks so beautiful there! Great description on how to look and sieve sapphire, yea you definitely need good ankles there , been looking forward to this video, thanks for sharing👍😁
Thank you! I was an awesome place that I will definitely go back to!
Such a beautiful place!Loved the vodeo and drone footage ,safe travels.
