a "passion",

experiences of our travels to the opal mining towns,
fossicking, noodling, going down a mine, places we've stayed,
chatting to those interesting characters that we meet along the way....
It would be lovely to read your opal outback story of what experiences and
encounters you have had in your "opal travels" !
Our Opal Mining towns in the Australian Outback definitely are fascinating and unique
places; Lightning Ridge, the South Australian
Cooberpedy Opal Fields or the Queensland Boulder Opal towns of Quilpie,Yowah,
Winton, Opalton or Koroit - each with their own distinct flavour
and character and their own brand of opal magic!
