Famous for magnificent opals, Lightning Ridge is easily accessible by aircraft charter from Sydney and is an Australian outback destination not to be missed!

Lightning Ridge has much to offer. It is home to the unique black opal, a rare and luminous gem mined from the surrounding plains.

Join one of our Lightning Ridge Opal Group Tours and visit the town’s many opal stores where you can marvel at these local wonders and admire the stirring inner fire that has attracted visitors since the 19th century.

At the Opal Bin, raw opals are polished into shimmering gemstones and rare and precious stones are on display. At The Big Opal you can venture into the mine site where opal was once mined. When you return, use your new-found mining expertise to try your hand at fossicking.
