Galleries, Museums and Collections

Toad Hall, located at St Marys on the East Coast of Tasmania has an amazing collection of local art and crafts, jewellery, books, candles, collectibles, nostalgia and so much more. Toad Hall is situated next door to the Treasure Alley Fossicking Park which is a family-friendly sapphire fossicking experience.

Treasure Alley Fossiking Park offers something different for visitors, whilst touring the East Coast. Both experiences are conveniently located, a 10-minute drive, via the St Mary’s turn-off from the East Coast Drive. By taking this route you will experience both. A perfect way to complete your East Coast itinerary after visiting key icons, such as Freycinet National Park.

Inside Toad Hall is a fantastic variety of items at great prices run by helpful people who support local artisans. Treasure Alley Fossicking Park is a great opportunity to learn how to fossick and know what to look for before venturing out on your own to the many gem-bearing creeks and streams in Tasmania.

Also, available in-store from Toad Hall are gem bags full of sapphire wash to take into the park where all equipment is supplied along with assistance from staff. Every bag/bucket is full of sapphire wash and includes other crystals plus a cut sapphire.

Treasure Alley Fossicking Park is open Saturdays and during school holidays or check with Toad Hall next door.
