LIGHTNING RIDGE VISITOR CENTRE

Public BBQ

The visitor centre in Lions Park at Lightning Ridge, and a genuinely good first stop: the staff are welcoming and know the district properly, with pamphlets, souvenirs and sound advice on where to go noodling and what is on locally. Toilets and a shower are available. You can fossick for opal in the noodling heap outside. Nothing quite prepares you for the town itself - makeshift homes on gravel beds, off-grid living, and piles of white chalky mullock marking the diggings. A market runs here on some days and fills with vendors.
