About Lightning Ridge
Lightning Ridge is in the Outback NSW Region located in the state of New South Wales. The post code for Lightning Ridge is 2834.
'The Ridge', as the area is known locally, is Australias richest opal field and home of the black opal. The first big strike of black opal was made by a prospector in 1901, and active mining continued for more than 20 years. Today the ground is pockmarked with shafts, and visitors often make a lucky find. White and blue topaz and other semi-precious stones can also be found as the whole area is highly mineralised.
