It was a very hot day but Pete and I wanted to see as much of Coober Pedy as we could. Above is a photo taken from The Big Winch Lookout, which is in the centre of the town.


Pete standing on the artificial turf of first tee of the Coober Pedy Golf Course. There wasn't a blade of grass on the whole course!


Faye's underground house....built by hand by three women ... most of the furniture has been retained from when the ladies lived there.


The Serbian Orthodox Church, one of the two underground churches that we visited.


The Dog Fence is the longest continual construction in the world, stretching 5,300 kilometres, built to protect the sheep country in the south from the Dingo in the north. It is about 15km from Coober Pedy.


The magnificent and vast Moon Plain is a mass of dark and shining rocks....15 kms from Coober Pedy.



Kanku- Breakaways Conservation Park ...is an Aboriginal Heritage Site and stunning landscape 23 km north of Coober Pedy.





  




After all that sight seeing we searched for a cool place for a rest and a drink...where better than an underground bar!
