BROKEN HILL-OUTBACK SHEEP STATION – WHITE CLIFFS OPAL FIELD | |
| Leaving Broken Hill we travel north for 120 kilometres to a working “outback” sheep station. This family owned property is unique as it incorporates a privately imposed and now registered natural sanctuary for fauna and flora as well as an abundance of Aboriginal rock art. Your guide will show you some wonderful things, including plenty of wildlife like big red kangaroos, emus, eagles and much more. We then look for a nice place to have lunch, before we continue our journey on remote station roads, through ever changing countryside, to the remote White Cliffs Opal Field. Dinner and accommodation will be in the famous underground Motel - a very unique experience! | ||
