Take the tour through an actual opal mine and a dugout home, giving you a real sense of how people live and work in this unique place. The museum also has great exhibits on local Aboriginal culture and geology. Plus, the opal shop is perfect if you're looking to pick up a souvenir or just want to learn more about the gems.
