Colours of the Outback - Explore Lightning Ridge

Beat the Winter Blues and add some Colour to your World!!

Come visit us in Lightning Ridge. Two day package $160p.p. (Twin share)

Drop into Lost Sea Opals to check-in and pick up your keys for Fossickers Cottages. Once you have settled in, come back to visit our workshop for a free Opal Cutting demonstration. You will discover the methods used to create beautiful gold and silver opal jewellery, right there in our jewellery studio. You then have the opportunity to buy ready to wear pieces or have your own piece designed and made just for you. Of course you must inspect our beautiful showroom full of interesting and rare pieces including opal specimens from all over Australia, as well as our display of 100 million year old opalised fossils from the deep opal levels around Lightning Ridge.

Also on the agenda is a fabulous tour of the Black Queen bottle house Antique Lamp Museum and Light Show. This prize collection of early lighting from the 1700's to the present day has to be seen to be believed. The peaceful natural surroundings of the Black Queen will help to relax and ease you into the easy lifestyle that is Lightning Ridge. Gail and Roger your hosts will entertain and inform you as they guide you through their wonderful displays to give you a true impression of life in an opal mining community.

Your next adventure involves putting on your hard hat and grasping your torch ready to descend into the depths of the Chambers of the Black Hand. This complex maze of tunnels and drives was once an opal mine but has now become an underground artistic wonder. Artist and opal miner Ron Canlin has created a sculptural masterpiece from the deep sandstone drifts of the opal levels creating a fascinating 3D reference to the wonders of the world. Your guide will lead you through the various caverns and rooms not only explaining the art but also giving an informative geological talk at the same time - must for the photographer and lover of the unusual.
