Mine Experience

Opal Mine Adventure has previously been called the “Walk in Mine.” It is the most easily accessed mine in Lightning Ridge…

On Site Opal Field

The sky is the limit for adventure seekers. Visitors sometimes say that Lightning Ridge is “Out of this World,” like some place left behind in time…

Exciting, therapeutic, fun-take time to experience the thrill of finding your own “rough” opal. Unwashed fossicking heaps means you have a chance to find what George missed…

On a daily basis we hear lots of positive feedback from our guests telling us that Opal Mine Adventure has been an exciting and worthwhile place to visit. People love to learn from our experience and trust our knowledge and concern for their enjoyment.

Young or old, or somewhere in between, everyone likes some adventure in their life. Here is the place the whole family can engage in exciting exploration. With the easiest access in town and reasonably open corridors and ceilings, most people feel comfortable going underground. Above ground, they soon discover that their search for opal can be a quite compelling affair.
