Day 63. Coober Pedy, South Australia. We awoke around 8.30am having no idea of the time given the pitch black room. We grabbed our complimentary breakfast before having a drive around town. Our first stop was Tom's Working Opal Mine where we took a guided tour through the mine. It was really interesting to learn that opal mining is basically pot luck - there is no way of determining whether there is opal in a given area (presumably big corporations would have mined it all by now if there was)...

Our tour of Coober Pedy town attractions began at 8:30am and our guide was Rudi who had lived in Coober Pedy since 1973. We went straight to the Serbian Church which was built in 1991 and is entirely underground. It was a beautiful church and quite cool inside. The temperature in all underground dugouts is a constant 24 degrees all year round. We drove into an area that had been mined out and there were many mullock dumps. It is free for anyone to fossick throught the dumps looking for opals....

Slowly we are getting closer to Adelaide and we are ahead of schedule by almost 3 weeks because we had our stay in Adelaide booked several months ago because of the holiday period around xmas. <br><br>Back on the main road going south we met up with some solar cars that where in a race from Darwin to Adelaide , about 3000km in length and the halve way through for the last ...

We arrive at Coober Pedy and day early and luck was on our side as the previous guests had left a day early. We were a group of 3 adults and 3 teenagers and Ken and Ana welcomed us in true AUSSIE style! Pretty soon we were all sitting around relaxing and enjoying cold beer/chilled wine for the adults and soft drink for the kids. Chatting ...

... underground (as the locals do) in this mining town. <br>On first seeing the place, I share Adam's exclamation 'its not underground!!' I guess technically it was. But where we had in our minds Hobbit land - it was more houses build into mounds. <br>We went for pizza - drank beer. bonding times. head to UNDERGROUND PUB (hight light) - again Adam contests its claim of underground - i would really have to agree with him on this one. Defiantly entered the building at ...

Samantha is 8 today. She is awake and waiting for her presents - some books and a watch. She had already received most presents before she left Kiama. Thank goodness it's a beautiful day, but the NW wind is chilly. We went shopping in the morning groceries mostly and our afternoon we went on a bus tour. Samantha was distressed as she thought she would miss out on her birthday cake, but after ...

... civil! We went to Umberto's Restaurant for dinner (part of the Desert Cave Hotel). My meal of fish with banana/avocado sauce was very salty and despite being a "fillet" had several big bones. My complaint fell on deaf ears as the bill arrived with not so much as a free coffee! Aaron...sorry Mountain Goat, decided on the "Real Taste of the Outback" which included; camel, emu, kangaroo and beef! He enjoyed it but said the roo was a bit tough (as it always ...

... vimos. Para além disso não se ouvia mais nada para além de alguns insectos e os uivos dos dingos à distância. CZ: Vzdalenosti v Australii (a hlavne v pustine), jsou nepredstavitelne vetsi nez v Evrope, takze jsme si museli vzdycky rozmyslet, kde naberem benzin, koupime vodu a prespime, abysme nezustali nekde viset. Pres den clovek skoro nepotka zivou dusi, vesele jsme na vsechny protijedouci auta mavali (a ony na nas), protoze jsme treba i pul hodiny nikoho nepotkali ...

... eine weltweit bekannte Opalmienenstadt und liegt wie natürlich klar voll am Arsch der Welt. Genauer gesagt genau im Outback auf halber Strecke nach Alice Springs. Untergebracht waren wir hier als wir nach einer mehrstündigen Fahrt ankamen, in einem Untergrundhostel, was sich als sehr lustig herausstellte. Denn wirkliche Wände gab es nicht. Nur halbhohe Trennwände und so war eigentlich alles ein großer Raum..... Durch diese Tatsache kamen wir dann auch mit einer uns anfangs ...
