Day 3: An early morning look around the area, including the outdoor Pastoral Museum and the scenic ‘Gorge’ loop road before we head to the opal-mining town of White Cliffs. With a tour of this unique town comes the chance to meet some great outback characters. Places of interest include the Solar Power Station, Jocks Place (an underground museum and mine), Outback Treasures opals & jewellery and the working opal fields. Try your luck ‘noodling’ for opal. Accommodation tonight is at the famous Underground Motel. (B,L,D)

Day 4:  After breakfast we travel through ever changing landscapes to Mutawintji National Park. This is one of the most culturally significant Aboriginal art sites in Australia. Here we enjoy a visit to the restricted access Historic Site, where we will view an audio visual presentation to learn about the creation of Mutawintji in the dreamtime before embarking on two interpretive bush walks to the Engravings Site and the Stencils Site. After a picnic lunch we return to Broken Hill for tours end.   (B,L)
