The great holiday opal hunt for little adventurers
During the spring half-term holidays, the opal mines are organising a special programme for young adventurers – holiday hunt for opals.
What will the children experience?
Children will go into the depths of the world's oldest opal mines, where they will learn about the underground passages, listen to the stories of the old miners and become little explorers themselves. They will search for precious opal and each participant will get the chance to find their own „treasure“ to take home.
The organisers will provide helmets; please make sure your children have torches, flashlights, some small hammers or hoes, or perhaps rakes.
