The Chambers of the Black Hand - Lightning Ridge
Tim Smith from Discover Downunder uncovers the mystery of the Chambers of the Black Hand, one of Lightning Ridge's top tourist attractions. 35 feet below ground level, it's a bit like a whirlwind trip through time and history thanks to the vivid imagination of sculptor Ron Canlin. Explore Egyptian burial chambers, African jungles and a wall of Hollywood fame all in the cavernous underbelly of the Chambers of the Black Hand. Ron started his work 16 years ago and he excavates all the rooms out before creating his sculptures. It's a total labour of love.
Back above ground, what better way to end a dusty day down the mines than a soak in the open air baths? Open 24/7, they are free of charge and located just 300 metres from the Opal Caravan Park.

Lightning Ridge 2017 Nine Mile Tour
We have gone to Lightning Ridge again for the Queens Birthday Indoor Carpet Bowls Tournament. After a very brief intro of that on the video, Ron & Margaret Mansfield (my parents) took some people who came to the carpet bowls tournament on a tour of the Nine Mile and let them try using the wires to find faults in the ground where opal may be found, then we had a brief look in an open cut and mine at the nine mile with Dad and Mum explaining everything. The wires actually worked well for me for once but I have left that out to keep this fairly short.
Marly's Visit To Lightning Ridge, N.S.W. Australia
Marly received a special invite and has now visited the wonders of Australia's brilliant new Black Opal & Fossil Expo, with hands-on action at Lightning Ridge in Outback NSW, just 750km North West from Sydney.
The region's aboriginal heritage is linked in through Opalicious Opal's new EXPO & Tag-Along Tours -- to the opal fields and to search for opals and fossils from the past. He had a marvellous time and could not believe what he
heard and saw.
Opal Jim, is the heart of the Expo and an icon at The Ridge; he has lived there for around 40 years; he dreamed of, planned and built the Expo, along with a guy they call The Viking and their tame Gemmologist Barrie O'Leary -
who wrote A Field Guide to Australian Opals.
With another oldtimer, Tony, they guided Marly through a pioneering and entrepreneurial experience in all above-ground opal activities at The Ridge where fortunes are made and lost and the true entrepreneur is still king.
They took him fossicking for colour, showed him the play of colour and how opals change with lighting changes; they showed him how to buy his own opal rough for cutting and polishing and preparing the finished gemstones for mounting into rings, pendants and other jewellery.
Marly met a lot of the locals and had some great conversations with them. You can see the locals in some of the other videos.
