Car Hire or Rental Coober Pedy
Welcome to Coober Peedy, the Opal Capital of the world. The first opal was found in 1915 and today Coober Peedy is responsible for supplying the world opal industry with a very large portion of gem quality opals.
There is also another side to Coober Peedy that makes it worth visiting. Since the mining industry began, people chose to dig out rooms and houses from the sides of the hills giving them a cooler alternative to living on the top side. The house entrances are actually at street level and you can see ventilation shafts poking out of the hills, indicating that someone lives below. You will also find churches, a museum, pottery shops and of course mines underground.
Along with the Opal Industry, the Tourism Industry also injects dollars into the local economy. You can enjoy tours operated by locals and of course the drive-in open air movies are a must in this central Australian location. Recreational activities range from swimming, trail biking, tennis and an 18 hole golf course, among other things.
With cafes, pizza bars, taverns and restaurants, you can choose to eat underground or top side. The accommodation options are also varied including budget underground accommodation for those on a tight budget.
