Chambers of The Black Hand
Lightning Ridges newest Tourist Attraction. Ron Canlin has created and amazing art gallery - 1st level 11 metres underground, images carved and painted in the sandstone walls and pillars. The carvings are something to behold, there is The Last Supper, 9ft Archangel Gabriel, Gollem from Lord of the Rings and many of the other characters, Australia flora and fauna, Nostradamus, Adam, Atlas and heaps more. Everyday is a new experience. We have our very own Egyptian Chambers including a sarcophagus, Nephretiti, then there is Jack Sparrow, Shrek, pussinboots and donkey (for light relief). Terracotta Soldiers from China, a Samuri warrior. Ron has just completed a jungle room which is amazing. Ron’s talent alone will mesmerise you.
2nd level 22 metres underground an old original mine started to be worked approximately 100 years ago. This mine is not worked now, as it had been opened as a tourist attraction 2007, but you are able to see where the old timers had dug shafts and drives, how they worked in the olden days. There is also opal and colour still in the walls. We have professional miners as guides to give you an in-depth on the geology and strata’s and how they believe the opal was formed. After the tour you can sit and relax in the lounge and enjoy a yarn to two with the staff with a complimentary cuppa and biscuit or browse through the only underground shop in Lightning Ridge.
