Outback Opal Hunters

The Rookies face potential disaster from the get go; for Col's Crew, their mining quest is derailed by a serious illness; the Opal Queen brings in new muscle and new machines for an underground opal hunt.

Rookie Justin has cracks in his equipment and his relationships; Col's Crew are a man down and on their last drum of fuel; in the wild west, new team the Fire Crew are on a wild goose chase hunting a bounty of fabled fire opal.

For the Rookies, there's tension as a new partner leads them on a wild goose chase underground; the Cooke Brothers' season is off to a bad start; Col's crew is called on an emergency repair.

Rookie Justin gambles thousands of dollars on buying his way out of trouble; Opal Queen Kelly needs a big find underground or risk going broke; Aaron and Greg's Dragonfly claim might finally pay off.

The Rookies battle their biggest claim yet and each other; Col's Crew must bring out the old machines to hunt a new opal seam; it's heating up as the Fire Crew race a fuel leak, chasing legendary red fire opal.

It's last chance for the Rookies' partnership; Col's Crew are on a crash course as his reoccurring illness slows them down; the Cooke Brothers fight busted hoses and breakdowns in the quest to strike it rich.
