Mark your calendar for July 2010 if you’d like to visit the Yowah Opal Festival.
There’s plenty of events going on in Queensland, including the Opal Festival.
Head into the Simpson Desert in the far west from Brisbane for the Bedourie Camel Races (July 10), or southwest beyond Cunnamulla for the Yowah Opal Festival (16-18 July), where the tiny four-block town celebrates its uniqueness and the beauty of Australia’s national gemstone each year.
