Scrub Lead
Designated Fossicking Land

Scrub Lead adjoins Sapphire and Rubyvale Designated Fossicking Lands on the central Queensland gemfields. Some of the best blue sapphires have been mined from this area. However, fossicking is very limited because of the extent of disturbed ground, depth of wash and current mining tenures.

Camping is prohibited within 1.5 km of Rubyvale or Sapphire Post Offices. It is allowed elsewhere but regulated to three months maximum. A Fossickers Camping Permit is required. Accommodation or camping facilities are available nearby.
