Coober Pedy




Fantastic! Just the most amazing place. It's incredible that people can live here. There doesn't seem to be any system of roads except for the main street. Just dirt paths going between the houses and dug outs. Water is limited and to fill the tank in our caravan we have to pay at special taps in town. Today we went to a working underground opal mine and afterwards did some noodling (going through the rocks for opal that was missed by the miners). It's quite addictive and was hard to drag the kids away.
