GEMBOREE
 

Each year the National Gem and Mineral Show is held over the Easter weekend.  In 2023 it will be held from the 14th to 18th April at  Caboolture, in Queensland.   Many traders attend and offer a wide variety of gemstones, jewelery, minerals, fossils, tools and related equipment. The Gemboree is also the showcase for competition entries from all the Australian gem clubs.  In addition there is a "tailgating" section where club members can offer for sale a variety of gem related material which they have created or which is surplus to their own needs.   A variety of traders will also be present to provide food and other refreshments for visitors attending the show.  Most traders and gem club visitors stay on-site in caravans, tents, etc.

 

​

GEMKHANA
 
The Victorian Gem show is presented by the Victorian Gem Clubs Association every year, except when Victoria hosts the Gemboree, at a location hosted by a Victorian gem club or clubs.  Like the national show there will be many traders present, a tailgating section will operate and members of all clubs will have competition entries in many categories of the gemstone arts.  Traders will also be present to provide food and other refreshments for visitors to the show.
OTHER VICTORIAN GEM CLUBS
 
Most of the gem clubs also have their annual exhibitions with traders, club sales and competitions.  Local newspapers often report and publicise them.
