Outback Opal tours - Lightning Ridge

See the best there is to see of the 'Ridge'



We all headed off @ 9am for a 1/2 day tour of the 'Ridge'


The name says it all

People who live on the hill, pay $1800 rates a year & get no power, water or garbage
Guess that's what you call "getting ripped off" !!!!
