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.
