Take a tour of this amazing mining town built on the back of the opal business. Black Opal Tours will pick you up and take you on a great tour of the town and the mines and you'll even get a chance to do some "noodling" and find your own gems (watch out for the potch though!). Morning tea is thrown in as well as the opportunity to buy some great opal.
