It's extremely hot and arid in Coober Pedy. In fact the heat is the main reason miners moved underground. It's also very isolated and there is no real night life or recreational facilities. Basically, unless you're a mad keen opal enthusiast, there's not a whole lot to look at or do.
95% of the locals are there to do one thing: Mine and make money. Most have one dream: Make enough money to get out of this horrible place.
By all means visit if you are on a holiday and going to tour central Australia, but you really don't want to live there.
Oh you mean like 'New Vegas'. I see what you're getting at
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! It's...perfect! I'll be there soon guys!
ReplyDeleteMinecraft anyone?
