Coober Pedy

Coober Pedy Essentials

Coober Pedy is the world’s opal mining capital, defined by its unique subterranean architecture. This selection covers the town's most significant 'dugouts,' including hand-dug homes like Faye’s and the eccentric Crocodile Harry’s. It features underground places of worship, such as the Serbian Orthodox Saint Elijah Church, and heritage sites like the Umoona and Old Timers mines. Beyond the tunnels, the list includes the grassless Opal Fields Golf Club and the salvaged spaceship prop from the film Pitch Black.
