Gemstone Fossicking in North East Tasmania
Gladstone-South Mt. Cameron area is a favoured spot for lapidarists. The area has a colourful history as a centre for gold and tin mining activities. The district has many tin mining ruins, notably at Boobyalla (17 km north west) which was once Gladstones shipping port.
Little Blue Lake is the flooded remnants of a tin mine. These former mine sites are popular destinations for bushwalkers, as are the impressive geological formations of the area.
Today mining has been replaced by tourism with bushwalkers and holidaymakers. Gemstone enthusiasts are attracted to the district because of the sapphires, topaz, agate and amethysts which can be discovered.
Little Blue Lake
Little Blue Lake, just metres off the B82 between Derby and Gladstone, is a natural phenomenon resulting from the pioneering mining days of South Mount Cameron and the surrounding areas of the Far North East of Tasmania.
Originally a mine hole, the lake reflects a vivid aqua blue from the minerals in its base. Now popular with locals for waterskiing, swimming is, nevertheless, not recommended due to the high mineral content in the water.

Mount William National Park and Boobyalla Beach
Gladstone is the accessway to Mount William National Park, a pristine paradise tucked away on the far North-East Coast of Tasmania, at the northern end of the Bay of Fires. An isolated wilderness area fringed with gorgeous bays stretching from Ansons River to Musselroe Bay. This windswept coastline features rocky outcrops marked with bright orange lichen and seemingly endless stretches of powder-white sand that squeaks beneath your feet – all set against a backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise water.
Mount William National Park is peaceful and relaxed, perfect for walking, fishing, swimming or simply relaxing.
The landscape is one of rolling hills, rugged headlands and pristine white-sand beaches, some strewn with pink-granite boulders, while in the north a string of marshy lagoons sits behind windswept coastal dunes.
Mount William National Park is an important area for the conservation of Tasmania's coastal heathlands and dry sclerophyll plants, and is home to an abundance of Tasmania’s marsupials and, as you explore, you can spot kangaroos, wombats, wallabies and echidnas. Brush-tailed possums and Tasmanian devils are common in the Park, but being nocturnal are not readily seen during the day.
The coastal birdlife is just as varied, with over 100 species, ranging from tiny honeyeaters, wrens and robins, to terns, gannets, albatrosses and oystercatchers. Whether you fish or swim; watch birds or wander by the sea, there's always something more to see in this beautiful national park.
A valid parks pass is required for entry into the park. You can purchase one from here https://passes.parks.tas.gov.au
