Coober Pedy. What a place. There are so many fantastic reasons you need to visit Coober Pedy! First though, a little background. Coober Pedy is located on the Stuart Highway (A87) almost right in the centre of South \u30aa\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30e9\u30ea\u30a2<\/a> and is the last town before you reach the Northern Territory (besides some tiny little places like Maria). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coober Pedy gets its name from the Aboriginal “Kupa Piti” meaning “boys waterhole”, and after the 6ish hour drive here from Port Augusta in the south, into the heart of the South Australian Outback, you can see (and feel) why a waterhole might be pretty important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The red earth here is hot and dry. The sun is relentless, and the road seems to stretch on without end. However, you do eventually arrive at the outskirts of Coober Pedy. Then it gets cold overnight. especially in the early morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coober Pedy is perhaps best known for opal mining and underground buildings. However, like other remote outback opal mining towns in \u30aa\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30e9\u30ea\u30a2<\/a> (eg Lightning Ridge and to a lesser extent, White Cliffs), Coober Pedy has a reputation for the eclectic, eccentric, or maybe somewhat crazy, and is rumoured to be where people go to ‘disappear’. That’s just rumour though. To be fair, it isn’t just remote opal mining towns that get a little bit…interesting…there are plenty of others without opals, like Hutt River<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
