National Opal Collection
The award winning National Opal Collection is one of Australia's most fascinating tourist attractions. Not only does it have a huge array of opals and jewellery for sale, but it also shows how opals came to be formed over millions of years and how they are mined today.
As you enter you are taken through time from the dinosaur age to modern day opal production. Exhibits show how on rare occasions the bones of prehistoric creatures can become opalised. One of the features of the display is the 2.7 meter long opalised fossil remains of a pliosaur known as "Nessie". This ferocious animal once ruled the seas 100 million years ago
Adjoining the museum is the spectacular showroom displaying Australia's largest range of exquisite opals and opal jewellery.
Tax free concessions are available for overseas travellers and entry is free.
