Dangerous Days Opal Mining in Coober Pedy
This episode the Grace Opal boys check out a newly torched hit and run vehicle, descend down a hairy 12 foot diameter shaft, weave through red back nests underground before nearly getting pulled through the pulley at the top of a 60 foot shaft.. We do manage to find some beautiful colour in a long abandoned claim where a fortune in top opal may still be hiding! Fingers crossed our renewed explosive licenses come through so we can blow some big holes to get to the big opal. On the way home we narrowly avoid beasts of feathers and hide and survive to push towards the dream to retire... And go opal mining..
