Location: Rubyvale, Queensland
DATE: 12 - 15 August 2010

WHERE: Anakie, Central Queensland Gemfields, Australia.

Gemfest – ‘Festival of Gems’ is the annual four day festival that celebrates and showcases sapphires and where they come from, the Gemfields. Held 12th to the 15th August 2010, this year promises to be bigger than ever featuring an amazing combination of activities, exhibitions, entertainment, prizes and demonstrations to keep you busy. While local sapphires are undoubtedly the gem of choice at the festival, you will also find diamonds, pearls, zircons, opals and other gemstones amongst the sparkling array.

There are plenty of stalls still available, so get in now and avoid missing out.

Some new and exciting events happening this year, including:

1. Jewellery Competition - which will be an Australian-wide competition.
2. Workshops - The main topic in the workshop this year will be on polishing your gem.
3. Gem tender system - Rather than the auction that has been a feature in previous years, a tender system is being proposed this year. More details to come.

Tour groups can be catered for so get your gem club members organised. What a great way to see the Central Queensland gemfields and visit a huge event at the same time.

The finer details of Gemfest are to be finalised. Will update this announcement with the new exciting details as they come to hand.
