Opal Mine Adventure

The most easily accessible mine in Lightning Ridge, hand-dug in the 1960s, lets visitors get a feel for the type of cramped environment encountered by the average opal miner. Tours are self-guided, including a film on the process and culture of opal mining, and there's a gem showroom and unwashed fossicking heaps to search for rough opals.
