The story-telling was overwhelming and very well executed. The over-all theme was amazing. The lamp collection was much more than expected with a history behind most of them - so enjoyable.

It was best experience I ever had in my life, and you should go and feel the Holy spirit during the performance that Gale is running.

This is a must see place, the experience of following a dream and storytelling was an inspiration to myself and everyone in that room. FANTASTIC..... The amazing collection of lamps.... what can I say.... it is a must to see, Thank you Gale and Roger for sharing this unbelievable, beautiful collection with us all. Keep following your dreams and keep... More

I cant put in words how wonderful this experience was. It has even inspired my husband to start collecting lamps. I felt a connection with it all that I cant describe either. Gale is an amazing story teller. Black Queen is an attraction in Lightning Ridge that you cant miss.

Lightening Ridge is a must especially during the Easter celebrations, as that is when the Black Quuen is in residence. This performance takes you back in time and stays with you long after you leave the area. This is one of the highlights of our trip so far.

Our visit to the Black Queen was heartfelt. The evocative storytelling and the amazing lights made the girls take pause to review the joy they experience daily.

What a wonderful experience! Joan's pioneering story and how Gales own life intertwines with Joan's is an uplifting story well worth hearing. I l especially loved the Lamp collection which is breath taking and to be able to hold one of the lamps was great. This is a must do in Lightning Ridge!

Heart touching story, amazing collection of priceless lamps, with a great location....you just have to see it. Gale has a way that ensures you go away contemplating what's important in life. Something everyone needs every now and then. A MUST SEE!

In the middle of outback New South Wales you do not expect to come across something as awesome and surreal as Black Queen. The amazing story by Gale is one not to be missed and a "must do" experience......you will never regret travelling to Lightning Ridge for this experience, in fact you will tell others to do so. Just amazing!
