If your planning an opal trip best time to visit in winter autum months as summer is far to hot and dangerous in the dry Australian outback

Best time is when opal shows are on

Coober Pedy opal gem show 11-12 July 2008

Lightning Ridge Black Opal fesitival 24-27 July 2008-02-16

Australian opal exhibition 31July to 1 August 2008-02-16

Coober Pedy Opal festival 22 March 2008
Remember when travelling in Australia to always have plenty water and spare parts and spare flat tyres and to inform people where you plan to head to ,especially in the Queensland outback as heat will kill you in less than a day ,but now half area is under floods after 18 years drought
Hope this is helpful
