    This week we arrive in one of the quirkiest and remote towns in South Australia, Coober Pedy!
    Known as the opal capital of the world, and famous for its incredible underground dwellings, this place is like no other we’ve visited! We find the perfect base at an awesome Hipcamp property, overlooking the vast outback, and enjoy a number of free events as part of the annual Opal Festival including a night at the drive in theatre to watch the famous Australian blockbuster The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (which was filmed on location in Coober Pedy!).
    Plus we enjoy a fantastic half day tour with Nobel Tours Australia to experience the best of Coober Pedy underground, including a drive out to the spectacular Breakaways!
    Let us know your travel recommendations and if you have any questions or comments, pop them below. We look forward to seeing you next week for another family travel road trip adventure!
