April 4, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Gem and Fossicking Club\u2019s fifth annual gem show is set to sparkle at Wondai’s Sportsground this weekend.<\/p>\n

More than 40 stalls will be filling the inside and outside of the Lions Pavilion, offering many items rarely seen anywhere else in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adults will be able to browse through beautiful hand-crafted jewellery alongside spectacular rock and mineral displays that SBGFC members have collected on fossicking trips all over Australia.<\/p>\n

There\u2019ll also be demonstrations and expert advice on all matters relating to gem hunting for those considering taking it up as a hobby.<\/p>\n

And visitors who enjoy a bit of bartering will also find trade stalls selling everything from lapidary equipment to raw materials for gem-making.<\/p>\n

There’ll also be lots of fun for children including sand sieving, Thunder Egg cutting, lucky dips, face painting and gem sorting.<\/p>\n

Food and drinks will be available in the grounds as well, and there\u2019ll be lucky door prizes and raffles on offer.<\/p>\n

The Gem Show will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, April 6, and 9:00am to 2:00pm on Sunday, April 7.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Admission is just $5 for adults, and children aged 12 or below can get in for free.<\/p>\n
