  • A couple of hours spent searching the mine tailings can turn up an opal. Sure, it's not gem quality but it looks great anyway...and it's free. • Nigel H.
  • travel from adelaide to alice springs and make a stopover in coober pedy in the middle of the outback. great opal mines, opals and hotels under the sand in the ground. totally awesome! • Dominic M.
  • In regards to the Opals it's worth a stop, also the experience of sleeping underground is quite awesome. The locals are a bit funny though, it's just another world... • Karolin T.
