[QUOTE="Bushbear, post: 501382, member: 9334"] The mines department also has an online map viewer here of the Lightning ridge area which is helpful. [url]https://www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/miners-and-explorers/applications-and-approvals/opal-mining/NSW-Claims[/url] If you go into the Ridge to the mines Department for a hard copy of the claims you will need to know the area you want and you get a A3 size copy of the area you requested. Gilly47 mullock heaps are a good place to noodle but please be very careful around the trucks as they drive up laden and drive down the steep ramp empty (not all trucks have mirrors or good brakes :argh: ) But great fun and lots of good opal missed up there.
