Welcome to our Australian Mineral Collector Web Site where we hope to gather all relevant mineral collecting information on Australia into one place for easy access.

The site is authored by Tony Forsyth, from Brisbane Australia. If you email me with any of your questions, I shall attempt to answer them promptly or else pass them onto someone who can.

The website itself is financed by the Mineralogical Society of Queensland Inc and the costs of running our site are recouped by other sponsoring societies and Australian mineral dealers who place their contact details with us. Please support them and give them feedback on this site, as it allows us to continue the service.

Special thanks should go to Dirk Schmidt (Canada) who authors the Canadian Rockhound site and who has given expert advice over the past couple of years.
