Dust, dirt, dry sort of sums up Coober Pedy. It's a pretty unusual place with mounds of dirt, all over the otherwise flat, dry, gravelly landscape. The mounds of dirt are from opal mining explorations . Went on a tour today, the lazy way to see the sights about town, check out the golf course, (apparently has reciprocal rights with St Andrew's in Scotland)!Harry's favourite part of the day was putting on the hard hats.
Oh ,and a lot of the population live in these crazy underground houses to escape the weather extremes in Summer and the freezing nights in Winter.
