White Cliffs is a fascinating little opal mining town. Combined with the endless mullock heaps, the desert landscapes are raw yet beautiful, and the mining lifestyle so different to what most of us know. We met some very interesting and friendly people in White Cliffs We'd recommend a visit to the Red Earth Cafe as well as the mine tour that runs from there. We also enjoyed our meal at the Underground Motel so much so, that we went back for another dinner there. A drink at the pub is worthwhile too

The pub is a good place to eat along with the Underground Motel. The Red Earth Opal Mine Tour is really interesting and good value. They also have a good cafe on site with Opal jewellery for sale as well. Spectacular scenery surrounds with National Park and Peery Lake within easy reach

We arrived end of season but enjoyed the Red Opal mine tour and a little fossicking ..plus refreshing beer at the pub and emus wandering in town. Unfortunately the solar operation was closed during our visit but also looked interesting. We took provisions for cooking a meal at the dugout house.

Great little town. Great underground accommodation. Pub was excellent with the locals, owners and staff very friendly. Super Muriel on external wall of pub being painted while we were there. Fabulous Muriel !! Very talented lady !! Booked the underground mine tour but missed it as we got there well after 3pm due to fatal car accident blocking the highway between Cobar & Wilcania. A reason to go back !!

The Red Earth Opal mine cafe, shop and underground tour were fantastic. The pub was great with huge outdoor area and the food was good. The White house tour was a fascinating look inside a beautiful underground house full of artworks created by the owner with her husband doing the tour of the house. It's easy to get around White Cliffs and you can fossick and find bits of opal basically anywhere, even the side of the road. Everyone was friendly and helpful and were really keen to share their experiences of living there and the mining.

white Cliffs is a unique place that every Aussie should see for themselves. The people here are amazing we went on a tour with Red Earth Tours through a working opal mine highly recommend to everyone.Do yourselves a favour get to White Cliffs.
