White Cliffs features one of the most unexpected landscapes in the middle of arid and deserted lands of the New South Wales Outback – thousands of opal mine shafts create a lunar landscape that stretches far beyond the horizon.
The New Cobar Open Cut Gold Mine is in a few kilometres from a small mining town – Cobar, NSW. Take a sealed Kidman Way road (left turn off the Barrier Highway if you drive from Sydney) and follow directions to the Fort Bourke Hill Lookout. There will be a left turn onto unsealed road which heads towards the water tank and radio tower.Â
