There are many 'must-see' destinations in Australia and Lightning Ridge is certainly that; home of the beautiful Black Opal and like the wonderful gem, Lightning Ridge shows its varying colours depending on how you look at it. Lightning Ridge (or 'The Ridge') sits on the worlds richest deposits of Black Opal but that is not the only gem that Lightning Ridge lays claim to; it is one of the most welcoming, wonderfully eccentric, and 'must-see' destinations of Outback Australia. It is so welcoming that many people who visit Lightning Ridge end up stay... not for a few days (although many do) but to live. It is one of those places.
