Planning a trip to NT
« on: April 28, 2024, 05:55:09 PM »
Hi all,  I am heading off on a trip to the North Flinders Ranges via Burra SA, I know of two places I can find Opal in SA, that being Andamooka and Coober Pedy.   Are there any other area's worth having a fossick at, I have 4X4 so can do a bit of off road driving.  Also does anyone know whether the road from the Woomera to Andamooka is sealed.

Have a great trip Tinker, the road is sealed until at least Roxby Downs, not sure how much further as I haven't travelled that far. A quick look at Google Earth shows what looks like sealed road all the way through.
Common sense isn't exactly common
