Modern day opal mining by leggzy

Modern day opal mining

A working lift hoist to an underground opal mine at White Cliffs. The hoist brings out all the workings from the mine & into the truck. Years ago they would have brought it all out by hand.
I hope they bring the land back to its former state after mining

Very interesting to see - I'd imagined something much bigger

@fbailey @kjarn it is a very small town with small time operators.

Would have been hard work

What a super and very 'Australian' image!

That’s so interesting, quite a small operation.

I like opal, is there much demand for it now?

Such hard work, it’s a beautiful stone, and my birthstone. Nice interesting capture.

I wonder how far down the shaft goes. Interesting it's vertical.
