COOBER PEDY
THE OPAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Welcome to
the desert town of Coober pedy in the outback of Australia. The name Coober
Pedy comes from the Aboriginal words kupa
piti,which mean “white man in a hole.” We hope you’ll come visit.
Explorers first found opals in this area on February 1, 1915. In 1946, an
Aboriginal woman named Tottie Bryant dug out a large and valuable opal. After
that, a lot of people came to Coober Pedy to mine opals.
During the 1960s, many European immigrants came to
work here, and coober Pedy quickly became a large modern town. Today, Coober
Pody is the world’s main source of
high-quality opals and a unique tourist spot.
It’s so hot in Coober Pedy that a lot of people live
underground! There are many underground homes, as well as underground hotels,
museums, opal shops, art galleries, and , of course, opal mines.
We recommend
that you visit these places when you come to Coober Pedy:
The Opal Mine and Museum is a unique underground museum
about the history of the town. It includes a model underground home and a
small opal mine. Some of the world’s finest opals are on display here.
The
moon Plain is a large rocky area unlike anywhere else. It
looks like the moon – or another planet! It was the set for many movies,
including mad max Beyond Thunderdome; The adventures of Priscilla,
Queen of the Desert; and The Red Planet. It is about
15 kilometres northeast of Coober Pedy.
Coober Pedy Drive-In is an open-air movie theatre.
You can see four movies a month here-every other weekend on Friday and
Saturday nights.
