Our Trip to the Kimberley
Day 4: Coober Pedy...what an interesting place! Not a blade of grass, just red dirt as far as the eye can see. And piles of dirt where all the Opal mining goes on. Wow. Cannot get my head around why anyone would live here?! It's so desolate.
However, as someone passing through, I find it fascinating. Houses underground, cafe's and restaurants underground. Motels...UNDERGROUND! And a town surrounded by mounds of dirt, everywhere you look...north, south, east and west.
Tomorrow we do some exploring...and more fossicking (or noodling), which the boys are loving! I think we're going to need more space to carry all the rock (I mean opal) home.
Till tomorrow.
