Coober Pedy is rich in opal, and opal is opal, a kind of opal that changes color with light, like water inside. The desolate surface of Coober Pedy is therefore like the surface of the moon, covered with large and small earthbags. They are all open pit mines, and the Tom Opal Mine is one of them still operating. At 8:00, 10:00, 14:00, 16:00 every day, Tom Opal Mine has a tour guide to lead tourists to visit, introducing the types of opal, the operation principle of the machine, how the mine is dug, etc., and will also take tourists to participate Simulate mining activity. You don't need to go through narrow tunnels and the tour is safe. The scenic spot sells opals mined in its own pits, if you are interested, you can buy two pieces.

Scones with jam and cream!!
Paul and Chris (the owners) engrossed us with their abundant knowledge of the opal mining industry with humour and passion. The delicious homemade scones with jam and cream were the icing on the cake....
This experience was fantastic value for money! We came with a 7yo and 3yo. While the adults listened to the information the kids loved being ‘real miners’ with uv torches finding opals to put in a bag...
Excellent information and story telling by the guide Paul. Interacted really well with kids of all ages (and adults!). The catering and Opal Seller was a real bonus at the end.
