Sat 10th & Sun 11th July : Coober Pedy
















After all of the previous drama's we met back up with our friends Nick. Erica, Sophie & Thomas in Coober Pedy & had a great couple of nights/day there. We all stayed at the underground backpackers in our own cave. Finn's fears were realised overnight as dust & small bits of rock sprinkled him while he was asleep. We spent a day visiting an old Opal mine, going through an underground house and spending hours 'Noodling' through the local heaps of mine tailings for bits of undiscovered opal. Pete had the biggest case of Opal fever of all of us! Found a few momentos to lug around with us. Had a night out at the local Pizza joint which did great pizzas - a nice break from rice & 2 minute noodles.
