Lightning Ridge was well worth a visit and with so much that we didn't get to see means a trip back for sure. The weather was comfortable, and we walked around the town for most of the afternoon, as well as a visit to the arteasian bore, naturally heated to 40 degrees c. We felt like cooked lobsters after a quick dip.
We did one opal mine tour...but with a difference. The owner had carved over 700 sculptures in the walls, really unique. Also the place is a cross between eccentric and just plain stuck back in time. We felt we had been dropped into an Aussie cartoon strip, real life caricuture.
How interesting - never been there but looks like a good place to go.
