The Lightning Ridge Car Door Tours are a quirky and creative way to explore the sights of this famous opal mining town. Locals have marked each self-drive route with brightly painted car doors, standing roadside and numbered to match the stops on an accompanying map. It's a unique, fun and distinctly "Ridge" way to guide yourself through the area.
The Green Car Door Tour takes in Nettleton's First Shaft Lookout and is best enjoyed at sunset. The Yellow Car Door Tour leads to highlights such as Chambers of the Black Hand. The Blue Car Door Tour includes attractions like The Opal Mine Adventure, while the Red Car Door Tour features icons such as The Castle. For something different again, the Orange Car Door Tour heads out to the famous Three Pubs in the Scrub.
Each drive reveals the character and humour of Lightning Ridge, blending history, culture and stunning outback landscapes. Whether you do one or all, the Car Door Tours promise a memorable adventure that could only happen in Lightning Ridge.
