Join Unearthed Australian Opal for a must-do hands-on real deal mining adventure where you join forces with them to hunt for the elusive gem in our working opal Mine with their equipment in the cool of night.

Get your hands dirty swinging a pick, wrangling a jack pick and wielding a UV black lighting after the 50 Tonne Excavator reveals never-seen-before opal bearing ground.
With 2 generations of experience, they have developed an efficient mining technique in an easy-to-access open-cut mine. No ladders or winches as they drive right down into the open sky mine. The mine site will be prepared for you in advance, so that your time spent at the mine is digging on the level maximising the chance of unearthing opal!

If they find a “big one”, you will have the first-hand experience and excitement of unearthing and holding a beautiful, coloured opal and seeing the magnificence they exhibit.
Make no mistake - if they get onto Opal, you help them dig it out!
Experience an actual working mine located within the Opal Capital of the world, where you are with them to work as they do.
