Keilambete Road, The Gemfields, QLD 4702

Rubyvale/Sapphire is a great little outback town. Rubyvale Hotel has new owners and is really looking up. They might not have a courtesy bus yet but every effort is made to pick up and drop off any patrons that ask. Great meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Winter in Rubyvale/Sapphire is always busier as the southern nomads arrive and then things slow down again for the warmer months. School buses run to both primary and high schools. New public swimming pool is nearly completed in Sapphire. Easy to blend into the background if you don't want to mix but lots of friendly folk if you do. New ambulance centre centrally located. Also new retirement village being built. To sum it up - a great little place to live.

to many motorbikes through the weekend, rough road no council services apart from that its pretty quite at times till the parties start in summer lot of drinkers the local pub is not very friendly and children are not allowed lot of locals dont go there anymore due the unfriendlyness of the place good place to retire to but most have own vehicle as there are no public services or cabs here and no pub bus to pick anyone up from the local there used to be but that finished, police are very keen at weekends on drink drivers best to stay at home some nice people and properties which when the mines open up can only go up in price
