Overview
We depart Bankstown airport at 7.00am and arrive at Lightning Ridge at 9.00am. We meet the tour company at the airport for scones and tea and then we experience the 2.5 hour opal mine tour. The bus tour starts with the history of the town and a show of the small mines. You will then be shown how the opals are prepared (cut and polished) by the local experts and have a chance to buy some of these beautiful opals at fantastic prices. The bus tour then takes you to a mine where you walk down into and see how the opals are mined under ground.
