| Looking down from the lookout to some of the building that go underground. |
 |
| One of the tourist mines but not the one we went down. This is still near the middle of town. |
 |
| Going down into the mine |
 |
| Underground reception area. |
 |
| More shots looking around the outskirts of the town. Everything was so green all the way up from Port Augusta due to lots of summer rain. |
 |
| Welcome to Coober Pedy! |
 |
| Got to love the hats! |
 |
| Down in the mine, was like a rabbit warren, corridors going off in all directions. Was an interesting tour, learnt lots about mining opals and also that Coober Pedy & surrounding area produces 95% of the world opals. |
 |
| One of the areas we couldn't go into due to flooding, they had 2" of rain in 20 minutes early in the week. |
Always wanted to go to Coober Pedy. Must get there one day...
