Description
It started out simply as a hobby for John Steenbergen. The great outdoors always seemed to get the better of him, so whenever there were days to spare, he would pack the old faithful Commer van with camping gear, fishing rods, picks, shovel and, of course, the gold pan, setting off to any stream, river, or lake to catch that elusive trout, or pan for the lovely yellow stuff - Gold! As time went by a wife, Cecile, and four children shared the same interest, picking up pretty pebbles, or curious and interesting looking rocks and crystals. At he end of the day the campfire would be lit by Cecile and and the freshly caught rainbow trout placed in the pan for
evening meal, while John would set up the tent for the night ahead. Exploring these mountains, rivers and lakes was a time to be treasured forever. Now, over forty something fossicking and collecting years later, they are the proud owners of one of Australia's largest r ock shops, situated on the Bruce H ighway , linking Queensland's major cities, as well as Australia's premier rock, mineral, crystal, gemstone and fossil websites..
People from many parts of the world find their way to Cooloola Rocks & Minerals, just south of Gympie on the Bruce Highway.
