White Cliffs is a small town in outback New South Wales in Australia, in Central Darling Shire.

The first Australian opal was found 20 years before in Queensland in 1872, when a party of kangaroo hunters were operating in the White Cliffs area.

One of them, who had left the party to track down a wounded kangaroo over some low stony hills, picked up a pretty stone which appealed to him.

[3] Cricketer Bill O'Reilly was born in White Cliffs, the son of the first school teacher.
