It's quite a small event in the local (to me) church hall, but I can look at that sort of thing for ages, and the Minipeelers share my love of fossils and minerals. I'd love to take them to that fossil place out in the eastern side of town, I've heard it's huge! (Edit: I may be thinking of Chrystal World in Devon Meadows?)

That looks awesome 😀

and you can stop off at Fossil Beach Mt Martha too 😀 The fossils are just there to pick up in plain sight, great for the Minis

once it's spring I'm off to the quarry in geelong to dig the fyansford formation
