Underground Opal Mining, Lightning Ridge, N.S.W., Australia
This is really something very very special and
although Marly didn't get to see these exact events, he saw many of them and
was taken onboard an Agi and around the Agi site which is something no tourist is allowed to do - Marly received very special treatment, including a special gift of this sequence of photos from Justine, from The Opal Bin, a professional photographer before coming to The Ridge.
Justine kindly gave me these photos because she, like so many others, fell in
love with Marly.

WHITE CLIFFS OPAL FIELD
White Cliffs, just over one thousand kilometres west of Sydney, is reputedly Australia's first commercial opal field. By Word War One when thousands of miners had rushed to find their fortunes, White Cliffs had already reached its peak. But there are still some commercial miners and hobby miners active there and there is the possibility of valuable opal finds for amateur fossickers. White Cliffs might not be as well known as Lightning Ridge or Coober Pedy but it is just as fascinating and the local community very welcoming -- worth a visit.
