Danger opal sign

A study of the many written accounts of the time suggests that most of those early Australian discoveries were accidental - a horse's hoof kicked up opal-bearing rock, a boundary rider's wife discovered a pretty pebble in a creek bed, a flock of sheep was struck by lightning during a rainstorm and the run-off from the storm uncovered opal at 'Lightning Ridge'. A number of Queensland locations also came into their own during the Depression years, when men without work were willing to chance their luck.
