The town is known for its opal mining and numerous opal fields that lie around the town as well as the "Yowah Nut" a local type of opal distinctive to the region. 

Have a go at finding your own opal at the fossicking grounds.

The town's water supply is from the great Artesian Basin the water comes out of the ground at around around 50 degrees Celsius. Have a soak in the artesian baths, enjoy fresh, hot mineral water. The bath water is amazing for your skin and health.
