Weekend Adventure

We are packing our bags and heading off for the weekend. We are off  to explore, looking for an adventure.
We have decided to go and explore the Central QLD Gem Fields. The tiny towns of Sapphire and Ruby Vale, are where we are headed for two days of gem fossicking and family fun with our younger two sons. ( the older two are working ). The boys are excited, a weekend away is always fun. They cant wait to explore and are hoping beyond hope that they actually find themselves a gem or two.
As the weather is quite cold at the moment, we have decided against camping ( mum is a sook ) and have instead booked ourselves into a cabin for our stay. We will however be checking out all the camping grounds  for later in the year when the weather warms up.

I am unsure at this stage whether or not there will be sufficient phone service for tweeting, ( oh my, will I survive )??? however I will be taking lots of photos and promise to share our adventure here on craftypjmum on our return.
