When you head off to work - you expect to be paid in cash don't you.
Imagine being paid in gems?
A few years ago a man was paid for a short stint of work in opals.. and that day changed the course of Sandra Hodges life.
She is in Toowoomba this week to be part of Bush Christmas.
Quilpie is ten hours drive west of Toowoomba... Sandra Hodges is an opal miner out there.
She moved to Quilpie from Toowoomba.
Today the Hodges mine opals and make them into jewelry.. and have never looked back.
