Coober Pedy, Old Timers' Mine

I love this place. We had a little show about a "blower", (a huge mining vacuum cleaner). I got to put some rocks into it and I got to put my arm into it. (My arm is still attached.)
There was a little shop with some souvenirs and opals. The shop lead into the mine.
The mine was really fascinating and fun. We saw lots of opal and there was lots of miners mining, (dummys)
There is also a little museum to go along with it.
At the very end there's an underground house. Best mine I've seen yet.
We also saw the first tree in Coober Pedy, (the only tree - it is welded out of metal)
The views are amazing from here - you can see the whole of Coober Pedy from the top.Read more
