Make the 160km trip to Yowah for the chance to walk around a living opal gallery.

You’ll find all forms of opal in Yowah, but keep your eyes peeled in the fossicking field for the Yowah nut, a precious opal in siliceous ironstone nodules.

Majority of the town’s residents are small scale opal miners, so if you’re looking for a hot fossicking tip, just ask a local.
