Coober Pedy

July 13 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

After lunch at the William Creek Hotel we headed further along the Oodnadatta track for a little way before turning left to Coober Pedy. This road was hours of very corrugated dirt track.

After arriving in Coober Pedy and dropping off our luggage in our underground motel rooms we went for a tour with Rita of the area. First to the Golf Club, then the main street then the underground Serbian Church and finally out of town a bit to see the Breakaways and then a quick stop to see part of the dog fence.

We finished the day at the Big Winch for a meal while watching the sun go down.Read more
