White Cliffs (NSW)

White Cliffs is one of Australia’s most unique outback towns, famous for its **underground homes**, opal mining history and dramatic lunar-like landscapes. As the country’s first commercial opal field, White Cliffs has a long history of prospecting, hardship and incredible outback resilience.

Many locals still live in “dugouts” — underground houses built to stay cool in the intense heat — giving the town a charm unlike anywhere else in Australia. The surrounding opal fields and stark desert scenery create a landscape filled with character and adventure.

With quirky buildings, mining tours, friendly locals and stunning sunsets, White Cliffs is a stand-out destination in far western New South Wales.

ShowcasingOz TV will be capturing its underground lifestyle, opal stories, and raw outback beauty during our 2026 filming journey.
