Big Bessie
Declared Fossicking Land
Central Queensland

Located on the central Queensland gemfields, Big Bessie is a small area lying within the Sapphire Designated Fossicking Land. Though sapphire-bearing shallow wash covering most of the area has been extensively worked, there are still a few patches of undisturbed ground left which are likely to contain sapphires. Camping is allowed but regulated to three months maximum.

A Fossickers Camping Permit is required.
