Rock stolen

[bubbleboy]

Thieves have stolen a quartz rock with gold flakes weighing 3/4 tonne, but they left the other rocks, up to 16 tonnes each.

"The silly thing is they've caused thousands of dollars of damage to the exhibition and taken a rock which will be very difficult to replace, all for perhaps $200 worth of gold."

Probably not the best way to acquire gold.

That tremendous effort must have cost them more than 200 AUD!

Yeah thats all i got out of that to lol. There better be a dirt gallery or log museum next to that or its just not worth the trip. But only if the world gravel expo is on around the same time.

Is the National Rock Garden pet rock friendly?

You should be OK if they're kept on a leash
