07.01.2022 Bundaberg Gem Club has our own Human Library. Our Morning and Afternoon Tea conversations are an integral part of our Club life and so difficult with COVID Restrictions. We have active members in their 90s producing beautiful work. The knowledge possessed by our Senior Members is extraordinary and learning from them is one of the best parts of being a Club Member. They have fossicked everywhere in Australia and some overseas, knowledge like this isn't printed just told in stories.
