Hello Trevor, The only Sandstone I know of is in WA inland from Geraldton. I travelled there 25 yrs ago on the red bull-dust road to the old town with literally one pub. Apparently you can still find gold there. All I found was a 100 yr old shilling. Doubt if it's the Sandstone you're looking for though.
