That's what I love about the Sunshine Coast - there's always something different to explore! On this particular grandparents day-care day we chose to take our little man to - it really is a perfect family outing offering all sorts of fun and educational activities:-



An opal cutting demonstration (one has to book for this) is perfect for the whole family;

Watch a DVD documentary on opal mining, cutting and valuation - perfect for Dad;'Scratch Patch' fossicking, looking for the elusive 'fools' gold' - children (and parents) can spend hours here - purchase a fossicking container for $8 (small) or $15 (large) , fill it up, and take it home with you; and then of course,



The huge range of absolutely sensational opal jewellery on display - which would tickle Mom's fancy, I'm sure.

is an iconic tourist attraction in close proximity to the beautiful coastal towns of Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Noosa and only an hour from Brisbane.



With many years of experience in mining, cutting & valuing opals, you're dealing with the experts, who specialise in Australian opals, from black opals, boulder, white & crystal opals.



Entry is free, except for the fossicking container. is open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm and have plenty of parking on-site. Nothing like an educational outing for the whole family!
