Opal was discovered in Coober Pedy in 1915 and the area is the main supplier to the world of this precious stone. To escape the extremes of heat and cold, most of the townsfolk choose to live underground. Our first stop for the day is the Umoona Opal Mine & Museum.  "The Story of Opal" an eighteen minute documentary, is shown in underground cinema. Permanent displays of fossils from the South Australia Museum and a breathtaking collection of some of the finest opals can also be found here.  Time for lunch in Coober Pedy (own cost).

The guide will demonstrate how to use the Tunnelling Machine, Auto-Bucket, Bosun Winch and Jack Hammers and see opal seams in the wall. We then visit The Big Winch then  before making our way to the Breakaways. The locally named “Castle” or “Salt & Pepper” can be seen in an easterly direction with Panorama Hill situated in the middle. As the day goes by, the passing of the sun changes the desert colours, creating photogenic scenes that appear surreal. before returning to the motel. (B D)
