Cool little opal mining town located in The Outback of South Australia
Coober Pedy. Hot in summer but in other seasons a stop you have to make. Visit an opal museum or one of the mines!
In a town as hot and dry as Coober Pedy it makes sense to seek refuge underground. This little mining town north of Adelaide on the way to Alice Springs is a must see for anyone seeking opals and... flys. #stunningstructures
