White Cliffs, NSW 2836, is a small, remote outback town located in northwestern New South Wales, Australia, approximately 255 kilometers northeast of Broken Hill. Renowned as Australia's first commercial opal mining field, established in the late 19th century, White Cliffs is characterized by its unique underground homes, dug to escape the region's extreme heat. The town has a rich mining history and a stark, arid landscape, attracting tourists interested in opal mining, astronomy (due to its clear night skies), and off-the-beaten-path experiences. With a small, tight-knit community, White Cliffs offers a glimpse into the resilience and ingenuity of life in the Australian outback.
