Opal Mining Life

Sunset over the self tipping hoist on the Coober Pedy opal fields.

A day in the life of Coober Pedy opal miners using a Kanga 825 loading a self tipping hoist breaking ground with a combination of explosives and spiking. 
Featuring the Graceopal.pty.ltd mining brothers Lochy (worldclassopal.net) and Shannon (Kimberleyopal.com) on the relentless hunt for the BIG patch! 
A huge THANK YOU to all of our customers past, present and future!
