Coober Pedy is known as the opal mining capital of the world. For anyone with a prospector’s romantic spirit, who gets excited by the idea of discovering beautiful, impossibly colourful, rare rocks in a classic dessert environment that oozes with potent history (and piles of scrap metal), Coober Pedy will be an excellent destination choice!
