Opal mining at Lightning Ridge

Good to see all safety precautions being observed, absolutely nothing could go wrong fast.

Is deafness a common occupational hazard for long term miners? Regards.

[@gemstory]

It depends on which / what kind of machinery they use but usually this causes a problem …

[@carloseduardoaymaferia9998]
