White Cliffs Attractions

White Cliffs (pop. 210) is in the outback, with the oldest commercially developed oilfield in Australia - a lunar landscape with over 50,000 craters, the legacy of over 90 years of opal mining. Most of the inhabitants live in underground dwellings to escape the heat of summer and the cold of winter.

In the town's heyday it had a population of 5000 and five hotels. From that period there still survive a few old buildings (police station, post office, school).
