What can we say, our town of Winton in Outback Australia was spoiled as the start to the Way Out West Fest kicked off With Sheppard doing an impromptu performance with the Central West Music Makers directly in front of our Opal Shop, Check it out right here!

Yep, that's our Opal Shop in the background, Winton Opal Gems. Many visitors to our retail shop chose our New Opal Fashion Rings as their music festival fashion accessory. After seeing the Opal Exhibit in the brand new Waltzing Matilda Center the crowds wandered into our Opal Shop to learn more about Boulder Opal and to check out the different Opal Designer Fashions in store. 

The Way Out West Concert in Outback Queensland brought together artists from country, pop, rock and blues including Jessica Mauboy, John Williamson, The Living End, Kip Moore (USA), Lee Brice (USA) , Sheppard, Busby Marou, Russell Morris, The Black Sorrow and the Pierce Brothers who put on a magnificent show.

For over 40 years, the team behind Australian Opal Direct has been a trusted leader in the Opal industry; wholesaling, exporting, and retailing 100% Genuine Australian Opal. But our roots run deeper beginning in the 1960s with Black Opal mining in Lightning Ridge. In the 1970s, we expanded operations to a quarry in Papua New Guinea, before returning to Australia in the early 1980s to pursue gold mining. By the mid-1980s, our focus shifted to mining Boulder Opal in Opalton while retailing at the iconic Kuranda Markets. Our first retail store was later opened near the Opal fields in Winton, Queensland in 2010.

From those early mining days to our current global footprint, we’ve built long-standing partnerships across the entire supply chain, from miners and cutters to master jewellers. By eliminating the middleman, we deliver premium-quality Australian Opals at below retail prices directly to our customers.
