Opal mine shaft-Coober Pedy

There is still an opportunity to search for opals around Coober Pedy. The individual needs an opal mining license.The opal mine shaft are dug up to around 20 meters into the ground. And yes, people still finding opals there.

You wouldn't want to go for a wander there at night would you.

You went closer than we have ever ventured. Happy to look from a distance and buy opals at the shop!
