Residential mining lease, Lightning Ridge
Resurrection of the camp
Here is an unusual record of acquiring a residential opal mining lease and resurrecting the abandoned bush camp.
The climate is not for everyone, with the summer months extremely hot. The other nine months of the year are fine. The town of Lightning Ridge is well serviced and is popular with nomads during the winter months.
An ambitious DIY project with very limited funds. Most materials were sourced through Brisbane Gumtree, combined with generous donations from friends.
