Saturday Evening 24 August 2019 - Ligthning Ridge

Set off on the final car door tour - the green car door.  If you were not going to see the sunset then I don't think it necessary to do this one.  As with the other tours you are driving through opal mines with squats.  You are travelling up Nebia Hill.  At the top of the hill is Nettleton's first Shaft Lookout.  This was the first shaft opal mine in Lightning Ridge.  After a stroll around we placed our chairs in a good position and followed the sun until it set.   There were about 15 to 20 cars and a few of the people had brought drinks and nibbles with them.
