Turn right down a narrow track for 0.7Klm to a system of creeks. Garnets will be found by digging and sieving the bed and surrounding banks. A second area close to the designated fossicking area is on the Main Track south 6.8Klm (approx.) from the Plenty Highway; a fork in the track indicates another area to dig and sieve. The area can readily be identified by the old digging piles of dirt.
