Strike it Rich !! Whilst in Quilpie Spend some time looking for a beautiful boulder opal gem at the free Opal Fossicking area situated just two kilometres from town.The council provided attraction can be best described as Opal Mining - the easy way. Alternatively travel to the century old opal mines of Duck Creek and Sheep Station which are situated near the iconic Toompine Hotel. It was Duck Creek where the first ever registered opal lease in Australia was granted in 1871. These mines are designated fossicking areas and a Fossicking Licence is required. THe colours of the Quilpie Shire Logo were inspired by the Boulder Opal. • http://www.naturalsciences.com.au
