Outback Opals

Tahnee_E, Sep 2024

What a great experience. Sonia and Peter were both so knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed our experience and walk away with some beautiful opals.

MUST DO experience in Mudgee

Sonja was an amazing host who was very insightful and motivating. We had a great experience and enjoyed every second. We highly recommend doing this once in a lifetime experience and would recommend this to anyone visiting mudgee

Fantastic Experience

Amy_W, Apr 2021

We had constant fun, and we were very engaged throughout as we learnt so much about the stones and polishing techniques. Our 9 year old was always excited because of the wonderful stories he was told about opals and other stones. We left with three beautiful opals each that we will now be able to treasure - even though we arrived with no experience. Thanks for a wonderful morning in the Blue Moutains!
