Outback Opal Tours
Tour operator
👍👍 An incredible trip out to Grawin and surrounds today with these guys. Our tour guide, Nat, from a local family, entertained and educated us pretty much non stop. This particular tour makes you really aware of the vastness of outback NSW, as well as immersing you in the absolute quirkiness of a minin...

John Murray Art Gallery
Art gallery
👍👍 Highly recommend this gallery. The artwork is amazing. Worthwhile looking around in the vicinity as well as multiple murals within walking distance. Free admission but would have happily paid for entry.

Opal Street Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Excellent food, drinks and service.
Stopped for breakfast to go and picked up a bacon and egg roll + Berry smoothie. B&E roll was at the pricier end of the scale considering it was from the window, but it was 110% worth it. Great tasting smokey bacon, egg and relish on a brioche roll. Will definitel...

Lightning Ridge Visitor Information Centre
Tourist information center
👍👍 The Lightning Ridge Visitor Centre is not just worth a look in. It’s an absolute necessity for anyone visiting Lightning Ridge. Lightning Ridge is an absolute rabbit warren. There are so many tours and eclectic things to see and do, dirt roads and tracks going in all directions, thousands of random...

Chasin Opal Holiday Park
Cabin rental agency
😐 This is reasonably inexpensive accommodation so it would be unfair to have high expectations. Communication with the manager was very good and our unit was clean and tidy although rather small. The bed was comfortable. The furnishing is minimal (no lounge suites or comfortable chairs) but adeq...

Black Opal Tours
Tour operator
👍👍 We came to lightening ridge for such a short trip we almost skipped doing this tour and making it a mission to find the good spots ourselves.
Thank goodness we didn’t! It’s such a benefit to have someone take you around this town properly. The tour guide talked about the people that have made light...

Crocodile Caravan Park
RV park
😠 The caravan park amenities were the worst we have used on our Lap. The stalls are 900 wide with galvanised iron in between with no supports, so don’t lean on them. Water hot, no space to move or for your towel or cloths. Would not recommend. Was the most expensive CP in Lightning Ridge!!
