Where to Stay in Coober Pedy
The underground town
Opal mining capital where hotels, churches, and homes are all built underground to escape 50°C heat.
Travel Guide
Coober Pedy is one of the most surreal places on earth — a town where residents live underground to escape surface temperatures that reach 50°C. Hotels, churches, and even a swimming pool are carved into the red sandstone. The landscape resembles Mars so much that Mad Max was filmed here.
