Yarrow Creek Bridge Fossicking Site

Part of the New England sapphire fields around Glen Innes, this public spot sits where the road crosses Yarrow Creek. Fossickers sieve and pan the creek gravels for the deep royal-blue sapphires the district is famous for, turning over wash on Crown land beside the bridge. No licence is needed to fossick in New South Wales, just a sieve, a bucket and a patch of shallows to work through on a fine day.
