The legendary Diggers Rest Hotel. | Once upon a time in Lightning Ridge, the Diggers Rest Hotel was the place where stories were swapped, fortunes were celebrated (or lost), and the dust of the opal fields was washed away with a cold beer.
Like many bush pubs that once served the outback’s mining communities, the Diggers Rest is now gone, but its stories remain part of the rich history of Lightning Ridge.
Today, the Ridge still welcomes travellers and characters alike. If you're following The Pub Route, take the Opal Route out to Lightning Ridge and drop into the Outback Resort & Caravan Park, (the new Diggers Rest).
The Outback Resort carries on the tradition of outback hospitality with cold drinks, hearty meals, accommodation, camping, and a relaxed beer garden where travellers and locals mix just like the old days.
History might fade, but the spirit of the bush pub lives on.
