We had a great day today.
Started off by getting up early (amidst complaints of NEVER getting a sleep in! ) and we joined the tour at 8:20am). The tour encompassed a visit to an underground church, the fossicking area, the underground pottery , the golf course, driving past various types of mines and a long stint in the museum – which covered many aspects such as what the underground houses and what the mines look like.

Later we went fossicking whilst Mum stayed behind. Luckily we found heaps of really big opals which ended up being great quality. Since the local miners looked so hard up - we donated them all back to the local miners charity.
We kept the scraps though.
Then we went out for pre-dinner drinks at an underground bar and dinner across the road at the local Pizza restaurant (to celebrate Dad’s birthday - Who Hoo!)
Quote of the day :- Dad to Louisa – “It’s destiny you will barrack for Collingwood one day”
Louisa “I don’t think so Dad - by the way…. What’s Destiny ?”
