Responsible parenting at its finest on a gorgeous day. Kids had a great time snorkeling checking out the rock wall and all the undersea critters.
I even managed to save 2 separate tourists who got swept down the river in the current and started panicking - all whilst holding my beer and without spilling a drop. Trust me it was impressive 😉😆

⛏️🌄 Next stop — Charters Towers!

This rural Queensland gem surprised us in all the best ways ✨ From its stunning heritage buildings to its wild gold rush history, there’s a story on every corner. Gold was first discovered here in 1871 by an Aboriginal boy named Jupiter Mosman (yep, that Jupiter — as in Jupiter’s Casino 🎰💫), and the town boomed from there!

We hiked Towers Hill for the most incredible sunset views 🌅, learned to pan for gold (spoiler: we’re still not rich 😅), and explored the Venus Gold Battery — still capable of crushing ore even decades after it closed in 1972! 💥

The Ghosts of Gold self-drive tour kept us hooked with stories of fortune and fame 👻🚗, and the Wall of History — made from five million hand-cut tiles 😲 — truly blew us away.

And in true Ozzy Rollers fashion… Tracey made her first official country investment — a classic Akubra Traveller hat 🤠 which she’s barely taken off since!

We rolled out of Charters Towers feeling genuinely impressed by the beauty, the history, and the small-town charm 💛

FINAL EPISODE:💎✨ Our little pot of treasures!

After all that digging, specking, sieving and washing, we finally have our own collection of sapphires and a single zircon to show for it 💙💜. They’re now off to Thailand to be cut and polished into something shiny and special.

We also couldn’t resist adding a pair of stunning emerald-cut sapphires from our friends The Evans Family Fossickers
— honestly, the photo doesn’t do them justice 😍. We’ll post another pic once they’ve been turned into earrings.

And Mum Joan Kane … there might just be one or two little sparkly surprises in there for you 💎😉

Farewell to The Gemfields. It's been a blast!

EPISODE 4: 💎🚐 When you’ve got friends in gem places… you end up at Tomahawk Creek digging in a secret hole with the pros! 😉

We caught up with our old mates from home, Steve and Liz (aka The Evans Family Fossickers) — absolute legends 💪💎. They invited us out for a dig at a spot they'd been eyeing off, and let’s just say… it was dusty, hot, and so much fun! 🌞💨

With double the manpower (and womanpower!) and their epic tools — including their game-changing 'shaker' 🪣💥 — we managed to unearth a stoker sapphire weighing in at around 120 carats! 😱🙌 Sadly, it didn’t quite have the clarity to fund either of our retirement plans… but watching Steve pull it from the Earth was pure magic.

We also added a lovely little collection of sapphires and zircons to our pot 💙💜 and can’t thank Steve & Liz enough for sharing their gear, knowledge, and good vibes — even letting us head back to the secret hole again the next day 😎🙏

Massive appreciation to these gems of humans 💎❤️

EPISODE 3:💎💪 From The Fresh Hole to The Established Hole… because clearly, we thought experience wasn’t necessary, just persistence 😂

We found a spot where others had already struck it rich (or at least thought they did) and decided to give it a crack. We dug with all our mite 🪣, sieved till our brains rattled 🤯, washed with very limited water 💦, and sorted like professionals (or at least looked the part 😎).

And guess what? We actually found a few sapphires! 💙✨..Nothing to retire on, and definitely nothing worthy of Tracey’s dream earrings just yet 😅

So the million-dollar question — where to next? 🤔💎

EPISODE 2: Our camp in Rubyvale at the Gemfields was pretty sweet. Zero neighbours... except the camels and cows.
