SA ’ S UNDERGROUND TOWN
ALL CARAVANNERS SHOULD VISIT COOBER PEDY AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIVES …
One of the quirkiest and most remote towns in South Australia , Coober Pedy is unique in so many ways . Known as the Opal Capital of the World , and famous for its incredible underground dwellings , this fascinating town is one for your must-visit list when travelling through the vast South Australian outback .
Located 850km north west of Adelaide , 2000km south of Darwin and 2500km west of Brisbane , getting to Coober Pedy is half the fun . We travelled from Adelaide , breaking up our drive with overnight stays in the historic towns of Peterborough and Quorn , and a night off-grid at the Glendambo Roadhouse . We also stopped for a rest at Woomera to check out the rockets and missiles on display .
