Thanks Jonas for giving us the best possible experience with opals. We truly appreciate your patience, amazing vibes and knowledgeable character. You made our last day in Melbourne memorable. This place has magic on it, definitely worth it to visit and observe the amazing treasures that Nick Le Souëf discovered. All the best for you and we will come to visit you again for a glass of Prosecco 🍸🍸cheers Michelle & Tobias
