Coober Pedy

The wierdest place we’ve been to yet…Coober Pedy is in the middle of the desert and looks like a moon landing station. It gets up to 50 degrees here in the summer so most of the houses are built underground. It’s famous for it’s Opal mines. Mad Max 2 and Prisilla Queen of the Desert was filmed here. While Robbie was off doing manly car things, we popped into an opal shop. The man that owned it was Greek. He took us to the back of the shop and showed us how to find opals. I think the kids have already told you the rest.
