SAPPHIRE - POPULATION: 550

OUTSIDE THE CARAVAN PARK
WEDNESDAY 21.9.2011: Arrived in Sapphire - now this is what we are talking about. It is the type of place where you could disappear from the radar without a trace! We are staying at Blue Gem "The Friendly" Caravan and Tourist Park.
Recently the park has topped up the internal road with wash (gravel from an ancient river bed which can carry sapphire and zircon), from a local mine. As you travel the road you are invited to fossick. Whenever Carole cannot be found no guesses as to where she is - she has even acquired a mentor! Ron came to Sapphire for a week and twelve months later he is still here.
 
MENTOR RON & STUDENT!
