How's it going everyone?
And welcome back to another episode.
Today we're on our way to Lightning Ridge,
our first episode outside of Queensland.
We've picked this spot today
'cause one of the main places in Australia,
where you can find opals.
All the dirt that you seen in the videos today
are topped up from the mines around the area,
for people to come and search through whenever they want.
