Enjoy some morning activities at The Lake before heading into town for some old-fashioned treasure hunting. Opal hunting to be specific. There’s a dedicated opal fossicking area just 1.5km from town - all you need is a water bottle and some sunscreen. Quilpie is the largest producer of opal in the world, so you never know…lady luck may be on your side! While in town, take a peek at the incredible opal altar in St Finbarrs Church. This afternoon is perfect for a stroll along the Bulloo River Walk. Pause to read native plant interpretive signs, perhaps spy a silvery grey brolga performing its elaborate wing-flapping dance or watch graceful pelicans glide along the watercourse. Get some local tips on how to catch a yellow belly or snare freshwater yabbies to cook over the campfire. It’s a great hunter-gatherer activity for the whole family…also delicious!
