Coober Pedy is a unique opal mining town located in the South Australian Outback, approximately 850 kilometers north of Adelaide. Known as the "Opal Capital of the World," this remarkable town was established in 1915 following the discovery of opal deposits.
What makes Coober Pedy particularly distinctive is its underground living arrangements - many residents live in dugouts carved into the hillsides to escape the extreme desert temperatures. This subterranean lifestyle has led to the creation of underground churches, hotels, and art galleries, reflecting the town's adaptation to its harsh environment.
The town's name comes from the Aboriginal words 'kupa piti,' meaning 'white man's hole.' The local culture is a fascinating blend of over 45 different nationalities who came to the area during various opal rushes, creating a diverse community united by mining heritage and underground living.
