Australia's National Gem Show, 'Gemboree', Back in Victoria for 2015

The 2015 GEMBOREE®, Australia’s annual national gem and mineral show, is set to return to the Wimmera Events Centre at Dooen, near Horsham, in Victoria’s Wimmera at Easter this year. The Gemboree is the premier event in the Australian gem club calendar and is held in a different state each year. It is operated under the auspice of the Australian Federation of Lapidary andAllied Crafts Inc. (AFLACA)

The first Gemboree was held in Coonabarabran (NSW) in 1965 with the first Victorian event being held at Beechworth in 1969. The event was last held in Victoria in the same location back in 2009.

The Wimmera Events Centre is situated some 300km north west of Melbourne and is an ideal base for an extended Victorian holiday centered on this amazing event. There’s a week of events and activities associated with the show which are designed to educate and entertain everyone in attendance.

Attendees are able to camp on site from 12pm Wednesday 1^st April until Tuesday 7^th April, with plenty of space for your caravan, tent or whatever it is you like to sleep in.

This year’s event is being hosted by the Victorian Gem Clubs Association.
