Coober Pedy – „The Opal Capital of the World“ is such deep in the outback even the golf course is in stone and sand – pure Outback.
Coober Pedy is still known as the Opal Mining spot of Australia. Opal Mining is still a good business here but the numbers of miners has changed, only a few of private and small businesses runs here, there are bigger companies working on bigger claims now.
But we still love it too be here and have a chat with the local people and having a beer with them.
Really close to Coober Pedy out in the desert there are the Breakaways and the Moon Plain. Such a impressive place with massiv colourful rock forms. This place is often used for filming. One film which was made here is Mad Max l.
We join the time of the sunset to enjoy the Breakaways. It’s any time such stunning to see these scant but colourful rocks.
