Coober Pedy Area
Renowned as the opal capital of the world, Coober Pedy is a unique desert town where many residents live in underground dugouts to escape the heat. Sun‑baked moonscapes dotted with mine shafts surround the settlement, and nearby breakaways offer sunset views over colourful mesas. Locals appreciate a subterranean art gallery carved into the rock and occasionally explore an abandoned opal field turned into a quirky golf course.
Council has an approximate area of 78 km².
