Coober Pedy The Goreme of Australia

Old timers mine

This is an award-winning tourist attraction for good reason. It gives great insight into the harsh world of underground opal miners.

Underground churches

Whether you’re religious or not, you’ll find the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Catacomb Church and the Catholic Church all well worth a look. It’s not every town that can boast of several underground churches, but these are all quite attractive – in a slightly claustrophobic sort of way.
