White Cliffs
White Cliffs is a historic opal mining town in Central Darling Shire, far west New South Wales, about 93 kilometres north of Wilcannia. Established after opal was discovered in 1890, it was Australia's first commercial opal field. The town is notable for its underground dwellings, dug into hillsides to escape extreme heat, its white opal fields, pioneering solar power station, and remote outback landscape that attracts visitors interested in mining heritage and desert scenery.
