Did you have an interesting adventure or event in your opal travels ? What were your best memories of visiting the Opal Outback - the most interesting places that you visited ?
Perhaps you made a great opal buy?

We would love you to share your story with us and our 'opal friendly' visitors and, if you've got a few photographs to enhance your story, even better! All on your very own webpage with your own URL address!
Opal is a passion for us as well as a lot of other people and like anybody with a "passion", we find that we like to share those opal outback experiences with others; 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.... so many stories !
It would be lovely to read your opal outback story of what experiences and encounters you had in your "opal travels" - and by all means let us know of any travelling tips that you feel will help those that are doing (or thinking of doing), their own opal journey.
Our Opal Mining towns in Australia 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! (Photo: The Opal Factory,Cooberpedy) Of course there is more than Australian opal - so we would really enjoy your opal outback stories about opal that is mined elsewhere in the world ..... help widen the interest and knowledge of our visitors about the opal in your part of the world and share your experiences, travels or encounters!
So share your "opal passion" and tell us your story .... it's easy to do, even uploading up to four of your photographs ! (If you don't feel confident about the writing part, we will help you to "tidy" anything up that needs it.)
You will have your very own webpage ! Email your URL address to your family and friends - show them what you have written and share it with them.
Make good use of the Social Network button at the bottom of your webpage and showcase your story through My Space, Facebook, Twitter,Yahoo! Buzz etc..
