A beautiful big sandstone rock has the plaque which holds the history of how this place was officially named. I quote ‘sometime around 1870, a shepherd, his dog and 600 sheep were struck dead by lightning here. From then on, the area was unofficially known as Lightning Ridge, a name also used by Government departments. The village was proclaimed in 1908. The name was gazetted on 5 July 1963’. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2069/ac99238e-43fb-4e5f-9a70-0cd2efcc4d98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by 4 pairs of Itchy Feet # Find the best Walgett Shire Council Hotels - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__price_find.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Save instantly and earn perks with One Key [Learn about One Key](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Walgett Shire Council Accommodation: Most Popular Cities to Stay ![](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/cba07889c2e7709bc765326682f8539d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=384&h=216&q=medium) #### Lightning Ridge [](https://expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels.d2069.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ![](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/13cf28d0075f6d017f83cbb903b1cab0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=384&h=216&q=medium) #### Walgett [](https://expedia.co.uk/Walgett-Hotels.d3781.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ## Check prices for these dates Tonight [31 Dec - 1 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248634333002965&startDate=2025-12-31&endDate=2026-01-01&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Tomorrow [1 Jan - 2 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248634333002965&startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) This weekend [2 Jan - 4 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248634333002965&startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-04&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Next weekend [9 Jan - 11 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=553248634333002965&startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-11&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) ## Our top choices for Walgett Shire Council hotels ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623700/9623698/b9f46db4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623700/9623698/4a99f9b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Point of interest](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623700/9623698/91f583b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623700/9623698/fa4bb88d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lightning Ridge Outback Resort & Caravan Park [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels-Lightning-Ridge-Outback-Resort-Caravan-Park.h9623698.Hotel-Information) Lightning Ridge 8.0/10 Very good (848) "Room very clean, handy having Bistro on site" ![Australia](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/au.svg) Russell £79 includes taxes & fees 10 Jan - 11 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels-Lightning-Ridge-Outback-Resort-Caravan-Park.h9623698.Hotel-Information) ![Sauna](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102431700/102431660/9f9e92af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Deluxe Balcony 2 Bedroom Villa | Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102431700/102431660/bd49bd9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Superior Patio Studio | In-room dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102431700/102431660/ce466b3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Superior Patio Studio | Free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102431700/102431660/d6c96b79.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BIG4 Opal Holiday Park [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels-BIG4-Opal-Caravan-Park.h102431660.Hotel-Information) Lightning Ridge 9.4/10 Exceptional (50) "It was quiet and great spot to stay" ![Australia](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/au.svg) Storm [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels-BIG4-Opal-Caravan-Park.h102431660.Hotel-Information) ![Garden view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16630000/16620300/16620223/a8e7e9c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16630000/16620300/16620223/65e253b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16630000/16620300/16620223/6b16143e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Natural pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16630000/16620300/16620223/31e69937.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sonjas Bed and Breakfast [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightning-Ridge-Hotels-Sonjas-Bed-And-Breakfast.h16620223.Hotel-Information) Lightning Ridge 8.6/10 Excellent (236) "Very comfortable bed.
