Lightning Ridge

Nettleton's First Shaft

Description: This was what started Lightning Ridge off in 1902, a few km NW of the town. Opals are presumably still mined here judging by the numerous "No fossicking" signs. A fine sunset viewing spot being on a slight hill, but alas the cloud got in the way today!
