Coober Pedy Australia
Coober Pedy Australia (2011).
Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia, 846 kilometres north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. According to the 2011 census, its population was 1,695 (953 males, 742 females, including 275 indigenous Australians).[1] The town is sometimes referred to as the opal capital of the world because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called dugouts, which are built in this fashion due to the scorching daytime heat. The name Coober Pedy comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means white man's hole.[2]
Opal was found in Coober Pedy on 1 February 1915; since then the town has been supplying most of the world's gem-quality opal. Coober Pedy today relies as much on tourism as the opal mining industry to provide the community with employment and sustainability. Coober Pedy has over seventy opal fields and is the largest opal mining area in the world.

Driving through downtown Coober Pedy, South Australia
Sunny downtown Coober Pedy - from Oasis Caravan Park to the Stuart Highway. This was my first test of the roofrack mounted camera - and I think it worked pretty well. The rattle noise is the roofrack base itself.

DAY 50 - COOBER PEDY UNDERGROUND HOUSE & CITY! | Road Trip Australia Travel VLOG
Day 50 - 21st October 2017
We rented a campervan in Cairns and set off on a 2 and a half month road trip around Australia. It’s a heck of a long way (20,000 km!!) but these videos will show what we got up to on the road!
Today marked 50 DAYS on the road, and it was awesome to spend it in such a unique and crazy place. We explored the town, found some opal, went to a drive in movie and even stayed in an underground home!

Coober Pedy: Moon Trip
We took a drive out to the Moon Plain, just passed the Dog Fence on the road to Oodnadatta heading out of Coober Pedy. The Dog Fence runs 5600km from Ceduna SA up to Surfer's Paradise QLD. The Moon Plain has been a film site for heaps of movies, including Mad Max.
There were things in we could see on the ground beside the road glinting in the sun. Turns out they were chunks of gypsum crystal.
