Lightning Ridge Fossil Digs

Overview

If digging for bling isn't your thing, how about searching for dinosaur fossils? At the Australian Opal Centre, visitors are welcome to register for Lightning Ridge Fossil Digs, which give you the chance to discover opalised fossils buried for over 100 million years.

With the next dig scheduled for August 2022, you can sign up for six days of adventure alongside some of Australia's leading palaeontologists and researchers. Previous excavations here have resulted in several world-first discoveries, so your trip might just make history.

Places are strictly limited, so if you want to spend a week fossicking for fossils, book your spot now.
