I love it...
I was full of excitement on the day of going to Coober Pedy, found my flag too on the sign...I can't believe I have now been to Coober Pedy. After so many months of wanting to go to this little town I now have! It had a quirky little atmosphere, with people's front doors being on the side of large rocks, leading you to an underground house...we did a tour in one of them and the temperature is just right, you can't hear any sound from outside, and it is completely pitch black with no lights, allowing you to sleep well at any time of the day.
There are so many different nationalities living here, all in hope to pursue their dream of finding opals. (coober pedy is the world's capital for opals) I did a tiny bit of noodling, which is where you search in the heaps that they leave behind from mining, and I found a little one but it isn't worth much at all...ahaha...still it was cool to find something...
Me and this girl called Sarit went to look at the underground church, it was so strange but had a good atmosphere. I would love to live in this town for a while, if I knew anything about mining that is...although...i'm not sure if I
My new house...
I could so imagine myself living in a place like this. I loved it all being underground... could stand the flies that are constantly in your face. It's not too pretty seeing the world through a fly net...
