Coober Pedy
is a popular, underground, historic and world famous Opal town
residing halfway between Uluru and Adelaide,
as well as,
halfway between Alice Springs and Adelaide.
It is a terrific stopover, and rest point of interest, on your travels.
Stay in one of my beautiful underground accommodations which are fully equipped with all the luxuries of home, for a night or two, whilst exploring the underground culture, mines & museums, and churches; learning about the history and present of this amazing multi-cultural town. I assure you it will be a delightful surprise and highlight of your trip
