Astronomers Monument
If you've made it to the outback town of Lightning Ridge, make sure to visit a quirky monument or two.
Overview
Lightning Ridge might be best known for its enduring opal mining history, but the community's collection of bizarre museums is definitely a close second. Astronomers Monument is a kooky landmark dedicated to scientists like Copernicus.
Others not to miss are the Bottle House Museum, Amigo's Castle, Beer Can House and the Kangaroo Hill Complex.
