Coober Pedy

Some places need to be seen to be believed.

Destination

Coober Pedy is one of Australia’s most unusual towns. Set in the heart of South Australia’s outback, it has become famous for the underground lifestyle that developed as locals adapted to the harsh desert climate.

Homes, hotels, churches and even shops have been carved into the earth, creating a town unlike anything else in the country. What began as a way to escape the heat has become part of Coober Pedy’s identity, helping shape a community that is equal parts practical, resilient and uniquely Australian.

The region’s rich opal mining history also remains central to the town’s story. For decades, people have travelled here in search of precious stones, contributing to the multicultural character and pioneering spirit that still define Coober Pedy today.

A bus to Coober Pedy arrives in a destination where life is lived a little differently. Beneath the vast outback landscape is a town built on ingenuity, determination and a willingness to do things its own way.

Top Coober Pedy attractions

coober-pedy-opal-fields-golf-club OPAL FIELDS GOLF CLUB Perhaps the world’s strangest golf course, Coober Pedy Opal Fields Golf Club has no grass; just sand and rocky fairways. Somehow, it’s the only club in the world with reciprocal playing rights at the legendary St Andrews in Scotland.
umoona-opal-mine-museum UMOONA OPAL MINE & MUSEUM Coober Pedy is known as the opal capital of the world. At this underground tourist attraction, you can see an original opal mine and a genuine dug-out home on display, and shop for opal stones and jewellery.
crocodile-harry-s-underground-nest CROCODILE HARRY’S NEST & DUGOUT Famed for its use as a filming location in ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome’, this wildly eccentric underground home is covered in graffiti, sculptures, carvings, posters, women’s underwear and other bizarre knick-knacks.
the-catacomb-church THE CATACOMB CHURCH Cut out of sandstone in the shape of a cross, this underground church is inspired by the Catacombs in Rome. It’s not Coober Pedy’s only underground church – you can also go looking for God in low places at the Serbian Orthodox Church and Saint Peter & Paul’s Catholic Church.
the-painted-desert THE PAINTED DESERT Emerging from a flat desert terrain 150km north of Coober Pedy, The Painted Desert is an unlikely landscape of colourful hills formed over millions of years by rain, weather and erosion.
the-breakaways THE BREAKAWAYS A striking rocky landscape of flat-topped mesas, The Breakaways feel like they belong on another world. Aim to see them at sunset, when you can get the best view of the sandstone colours.
