We enjoy a range of field trips.
We conduct fossicking, panning and visits to sites of geological interest in our local area, usually on the second Monday of the month.
Weekend excursions are held regionally and sometimes extended interstate fossicking trips are undertaken.
Field trips are conducted with necessary approvals, licences and permits. Registered members are covered for personal accident insurance in accordance with our policy.
Please add your emergency contact details and serious health issues to the back of your name badge.
