Lightning Ridge

A drive around Lightning Ridge NSW and along the Red Car Door tour.

Weekend in Lightning Ridge

We spent the weekend in Lightning Ridge. A unique town with plenty to do and see. We loved every bit of it.

We flew there in our RV7 from Cessnock. Flight time was 1h 44mins. We met up with family who were also visiting for the weekend.

Day 1
We did some of the famous car door tours. They are a self drive tour around some of the icons at the Ridge. We ate a meal at Bruno's Italian Restaurant - the food was AMAZING! and visited the hot bore baths in the evening for a nice long soak.

Day 2
After a quick look at the local markets which happen every Sunday morning, we toured around some of the other car door tours and visited the Chamber of the Black Hand. An incredible underground mine tour where we learnt a lot about the mines and also saw a very large collection of carvings that were carved out of the sandstone underground. This is a must do if you are visiting the Ridge.

After completing the last of the car door tours we headed back to the plane and returned home.

Must Do Activities in Lightning Ridge:
* Car Door Tours
* Hot Bore Baths
* The Chamber of the Black Hand
* Eat a meal or two at Bruno's Italian Restaurant

I wish we had more time to drive around some more of the tracks that surround the town, we would have seen so much more. I also wished we had visited Amigo's Castle. I haven't seen any reviews on it but it sounded interested and wasn't very expensive.
