ANONYMOUS JONES'
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #21
AUSTRALIA ROCKS (AND HOW)
Let's face it, folks, a proper emigration target should have
DIVERSITY. And so it is with Australian minerals, which
come in many varieties, but are most easily categorized as
Large, Small and Expensive. Top of the line large minerals
include Ayers Rock, which sticks up 1000 large red feet above
the Great Victoria Desert, and which can be reached by jeep,
airplane or balloon from Alice Springs. Small minerals are
exemplified by the spectacular agate-cored thunder eggs of
Agate Creek, Tambourine Mountain, Mount Hay and Thunder Egg
Farm. However, as always, Expensive is the thing, and you
can have your pick! Sapphire and topaz from Glen Innes;
gold from historic Beechworth and Red Hill Gully; opal from
Coober Pedy... only watch your step, abandoned mine shafts
get a couple of careless tourists every year, and opals seem
much less Expensive from six feet under the land down-under.
