2004trip - Part 4, Coober Pedy, South Australia .

We arrived in Coober Pedy on the 27th August. After setting up in the caravan
park we had a walk around town. Opal was discovered at Coober Pedy in 1315
and today it is Australia's largest and oldest opal mining town. A lot of
the structures
were built underground to escape the heat and to make use of the disused
opal mines. This is the
Catholic Church.
