You join Bill O’Brien Way almost immediately after leaving the Service Centre; it becomes Morilla St through town and passes the Australian Opal Centre showroom. Use the clear highway signage and the centre frontage as reference points, perform your mirror checks and drive smoothly before your left onto Brilliant St.
This short loop appears twice in your drive, linking Brilliant St and Gem St before bending back toward the opal fields. Traffic is light, so focus on precise steering through the series of right-angle turns and practise your mirror–signal–manoeuvres.
After a brief unsealed section, you head southeast past rows of classic miner cottages. Keep speeds down and eyes up for any loose gravel or stray machinery. It's a great place to practice maintaining traction and gentle braking on variable surfaces.
A right turn onto this road takes you toward one of Lightning Ridge’s best-known opal fields. The road surface can be dusty and uneven, so leave extra following distance, and use this stretch to refine your speed control on rural roads before looping back to town.
