Coober Pedy is an ideal base from which to explore the fascinating Outback of South Australia.
Vast desert landscapes looking more like Mars than planet Earth, a variety of wildlife from bounding roos to clouds of noisy parrots... plus immense clear blue skies, multi-coloured sunsets and a nightime wonder of stars. |
Places out of the pages of Australian pioneer history can be found, where words like ''big'' and ''remote'' lose meaning. Like Anna Creek, the world's largest cattle station – covering 24,000 square kilometres. Or The Breakaways Reserve with panoramic views and the Painted Desert which displays the remains of an ancient inland sea in breathtaking colours.
Whether you choose a charter bus, camel or air tour, take the Mail Run with the local ''postie'' or tackle the dirt tracks in your own 4WD, you can be sure of a memorable experience...
The famous ''Ghan” railway line also runs nearby, linking Adelaide in the South to Darwin in the North – the world's longest rail route of its type...
...and closer to home, a stroll through the town's quirky collection of underground churches, galleries, homes (maybe rounding off the day with a round of golf on Coober Pedy's desert ''green'' – a place whose fame has spread to attract members of the venerable Royal St Andrew's course in Scotland.)
