"JEWEL"




(click on photo to read enlarged photo-text)


I went opal mining with this new friend, Mark, during the Olympic madness of Sydney 2000, where I lived only two suburbs away from the Olympic Stadium at that time (but that is another story). Mark lived at Lightning Ridge, about 12 hours drive up to the start of the outback. It was such an amazing experience to go opal mining and find these small pieces of light amid tonnes and tonnes of earth.
