December

Winter (June to Sept) - go up northern Western Australia and dig the rock; get it trucked back home.




Oct-Nov:

Sort out the rock and fill orders.

Cut and polish rocks. Pack finished product plus rough rock into drums. Ship to America in time for the show.
Break it to Woody that he can't come to America.

End of December we're off to Arizona where Glenn sells the rock at the biggest rock, gem and mineral show in the world: Quartzsite and Tucson.



Mid February we return - relax. The seven weeks in America is absolutely non-stop so we deserve a rest when we get back. Especially Glenn as he has all the worry and stress of logistics; before, during and after the shows.
Soon it's winter and we start all over again.


So, the shipment that left in November has arrived in America and being trucked to Quartzsite for the first show (hopefully). When we arrive we hope all the gear from last year has also been trucked to Quartzsite to coincide with our arrival.
Organising trucking and customs clearance etc is not easy from the other side of the world. They are nineteen hours behind us. Email is a wonderful thing!
