White Cliffs

White Cliffs can be reached from Wilcannia via a good 93 km sealed road. Be extra careful of animals on this road.

It is also possible to cross from Broken Hill on an unsealed road passing by Mutawinji National Park.

• A Heritage Trail leads visitors around the town to sites of interest, such as the location of a "camel beer" riot in the 1800s.

• Solar Power Station. Solar concentrator array, no longer operational 
• Walk/drive/ride along the trail among the small active mine workings, which look like human-scale ant nests.
• Some tours of small-scale mines or abandoned mines may be available.

White Cliffs' primary industry is opal mining, and many shops around town sell opals and opal jewellery.
