New Timers Mine

Inside a more recent mine that has "bottomed out" that is, no more opals being found and has now been abandoned. It is now used to show to visitors and is large enough in a couple of places to host underground dinners etc.
Being a more recent mine, it has been tunnelled out using mechanical excavators resulting in the beautiful rock patterns in the ceiling and walls.

Best on black.
