In 1895 the Sullivan brothers opened their first opal mine in Australia. By 1915 they
had six mines in different locations. Can you match each map location (A-F), with
the name of the mine, the year it was opened and weight of the largest opal
discovered at each mine?
Years opened:1895, 1899, 1903, 1908, 1910, 1915
Opal weights:352gms, 395gms, 428gms, 480gms, 515gms, 552gms
1. The opal weighing 552gms was discovered at either location D or Tullaroo (which
was opened either four years before or four years after the mine at location B).
2. The opal found in 1908 weighed more than the one mined at Marraville (which isn't
location A) and less than the mine at location F (which was opened five years before
the mine at location E).
3. Larradoo mine is located due north of the one opened in 1895.
4. The gem weighing 480gms wasn't discovered at Warrengo (which is located due
south of the mine opened in 1910 where the opal weighing 428gms was found).
5. The opal weighing 395gms was found at Karoomba which is located somewhere
east of at least one of the other mines.
6. Barrabilly isn't the most westerly mine and was opened four years later than the
mine at location C.
