Sapphire
Designated Fossicking Land

Located on the Central Queensland gemfields, this fossicking land surrounds the township of Sapphire. As the name suggests, sapphires are found in this area and are best developed in the shallow wash from the town towards the northern boundary. Extensive past mining and numerous mining tenures in the area limit opportunities for fossickers.

Camping is prohibited within 1.5 km of Sapphire Post Office, though it is allowed elsewhere but regulated to three months maximum. A Fossickers Camping Permit is required. Accommodation or camping facilities are available.
