opal mines

Has anyone visited the opal mines? I know there are guided tours once you get there but I have not been able to figure the distance from Melbourne. Is it worth renting a car and what is the distance?

    Coober Pedy is the "Opal Capital of the World." A quick check of Google maps shows that it is a 16 1/2 hour drive from Melbourne (each way). So, no, I don't think it would be worth it.
