Fodor's Expert Review Old Timers Mine

Coober Pedy Family

This is a genuine opal mine turned into a museum. Two fully furnished underground houses give some idea of what an opal miner’s life must have been like, while mining memorabilia is exhibited in an extensive network of hand-dug tunnels and shafts. Self-guided tours include the chance to noodle in nearby pits and see a selection of valuable opals under natural and UV light.
