Mintabie is located about 40 kilometres west of Marla in the Pitjantjatjara Lands. This small opal mining community has developed over the past 20 years, and now has a population of 300. Facilities include a hotel and caravan parks. Note: Road access to Mintabie requires a permit, which is available from the Marla police station. Permits to the opal fields are also available there.
