Mount Gibson
Declared Fossicking Land
North Queensland

Mount Gibson is about 5 km north-west of Innot Hot Springs on the Kennedy Highway between the small townships of Mount Garnet and Ravenshoe. Fossickers know the area well as a place for collecting the gem topaz. Much of the area is strongly mineralised and many of the creeks and gullies have been worked for alluvial tin. Quartz crystal and cassiterite also occur.

Camping is prohibited on the Fossicking Area. Camping, caravan park facilities and accommodation available at Innot Hot Springs.
