Bob has been fascinated by opals since he was a teenager.
When he was younger, searching for them could take him as deep as 90 feet underground. These days, the way Bob searches has changed, but the excitement of discovering that next flash of colour hasn’t.
Over the decades, his passion has also become part of his family’s story, with treasured finds passed on to his children and grandchildren.
To continue to recognise International Day of Older Persons, we’re celebrating the lives older people have lived, and continue to live, and the interests, experiences and stories that make each person who they are.
