White Cliffs Opal Field will bring home to you the remoteness and isolation of the early Australian pioneers. Mining still continues here but on a much smaller scale than during the first 20 years after opals were discovered in 1887. Here in White Cliffs you will have the opportunity to learn how this unique community lives in their underground houses. We'll go "fossicking" in the 'Old Field' where over 50,000 holes have been dug since mining began, and of course visit a local opal show room or two.

We leave Broken Hill and travel to Kinchega National Park, taking the scenic river drive along the mighty Darling where native bird and animal life abound among the spectacular river red gums. After lunch we visit Menindee, the last stop for Burke and Wills on their fateful journey north. Menindee has a water area seven times greater than Sydney Harbour; a real oasis and haven for wildlife. Dinner and Overnight in Menindee at the Burk & Wills Motel.

Departing Menindee we follow the Darling River downstream to the old river port town of Pooncarrie. From Pooncarrie, we pass through isolated sheep stations nestled in the mallee, native pine and black oak woodlands.
This region is far different from what we have seen to the north. The wetter climate provides a new aspect to the landscape, though still considered outback, there is far more vegetation here.
