    Coober Pedy ⛏️

    September 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    Deep desert in our first stop in south australia. Coober Peddy is an interesting mining town full of interesting scrap every side of the road and underground homes, churches and museums. It was really really hot in here, lots of sand flies, and as dry as you could imagine with no water supplies. But it had its charm. We went for a quick visit to the opal museum, an art gallery, an underground serbian church visited the interesting croc harry home , a bizarre cave full of weird furniture, art and woman's underwear. We also went for an opal hunt in the area, and Romingot some opal! Then before setting off stopped for some waffles from a lovely funny scottish old men. And began our trip back to society.

    📍Essentials: Crocodyle Harry, find opal
