Different Australian niche self-driving routes! Heading north from Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, we felt the scenery on both sides of the road from the ancient seaport town to the endless prairie connected to the hillside and into the red earth desert in the middle of the country. Explore the world's largest cat eye capital, "underground city" Cupperdi. Make sure you feel fresh every day of your road trip!
Like the endless "sea, the sea is water" along Australia's eastern coastline, the self-driving route is a bit unusual for tourists away from popular urban attractions.
From the south to the north, from the wet coast to the barren interior, the landscape on both sides of the straight road seems to experience four seasons.
I'll give you a lot of time to go to the retro city district museum, to go to the ancient port to have a cup of coffee and blow the sea wind, to satisfy you on the most natural prairie to have a joyous run.
Walk on Australia's unique magical pink salt lake to feel the "sky mirror", to the most central special red soil desert, Aobao mine, to the site to the lower city adventure.

Why don't you come to Australia for two glasses of wine. South Australia produces about half as much wine a year as Australia does, so Australia's National Wine Centre is located in the northeast corner of the city centre. If you are interested in red wine, be sure to listen to the volunteer commentator here to talk about the differences in taste and wine-making process of different wine varieties, and to understand the history of the wine industry in Australia. Simply learn how to identify the variety of wine by smell, and discuss with professionals whether the best wine in your mind is really worth it.
The National Wine Center is located in Adelaide Botanical Garden, which has a glass greenhouse for many years. The best thing to feel when you come to Australia is to walk two steps in the city and have a large green park, and you can take a nap in the sun unscrupulously by looking for a piece of grass. The fresh air was extremely picky, the sky was also blue and indecent, so I was stunned, looking at the children playing in the park, the skateboarding teenagers, the leisurely seagull pigeons, the anxiety and panic during the journey, and the anxiety and panic in the journey can also be put down in an instant. Although not as prosperous as the modern world-class metropolis, Tuao's city has won hundreds of streets in the purest, natural comfort of relaxation.

All-day drive: about 6 hours
Evening check-in: Cooper Peidi
Early in the morning from the port of Augusta along the A1 road to NATO 5.5 hours to the so-called "Australia and the world's opal capital" Kuber Paidi.
Although know all Australia's Aobao town is the same no new routine, to give you an underground mining treasure exploration experience, have been screened a hundred times stone to pick a gem experience, You can buy a handmade jewelry store that you want to multiply.
But the jewel town seems a little cooler, and before entering the town, you can see a large number of mining areas on both sides of the road that are still under construction, digging up sand and stones into endless hills "as long as the shoreline of the gold coast". At first glance, there were only a few modern buildings in the desolate desert, and few people could be seen elsewhere; in fact, the bustling town was a dungeon, with thousands of residents living underground!
Tips：
It became an adventurer's paradise in 1915, when gold hunters accidentally discovered large deposits of opal. After World War I, a large number of veterans poured into the town to excavate opal stones, and the legend of getting rich continued to be heard overnight. As a result, the town was widely known. In 1920, the town was officially named Coober Pedy-- Cooper Pedi, derived from the native Australian language of "KUPAPITI." It means "white man in the cave".
Because it is a semi-desert climate, the temperature difference is very large, and the living conditions are quite poor, the people who come here to dig caves for the mining of precious stones and build underground house as a habitat in the hillside, with lights shining in the caves. The temperature can be kept at about 20 ℃ all the year round, and the excavator can be used to expand it at any time. In the end, it was built step by step into what we now see as a very distinctive underground city. There are not only cave hotels, but also ancient underground churches, specialty bookstores and cafes, and even underground swimming pools.
Aren't bookstores and restaurants in the dungeons pretended to read books in the least surprised to eat and sleep, like life in another parallel world?
Most of the local Aobao products are hand-made and sold directly in underground jewelry shops. They are absolutely unique. By the way, they talk to the boss about the gossip here. It may also be possible to find out who accidentally dug up a jewel mine as a result of an underground expansion.
Stay at the Cave Hotel, transformed from 1918 to 1960's cat's eye quarry, with all the furnishings. It is also a different experience to have a drink at night in the construction of a real underground bar. In the real cave hotel, it will be a real "reach out five fingers" experience, after all, turned off the lights and television, there is really no light, absolutely let you sleep without any interruptions a good sleep oh!
Hotel: The Underground Motel
Address: McKenzie CL | P.O. Box 79, Coober Pedy, South Australia 5723, Australia
Day 4: an Expedition of the Downtown-a wild dog fence longer than the Great Wall
The underground museum of art, (Old Timers Mine), is an old abandoned mine where many of the opal layers are protected, looking for the old history of Cuppetti, or reviewing the years of mining with shovels and pickaxes. Also available at the Faye's Underground Display Home underground exhibition are, Umoona Opal Mine & Museum cat eye mines and museums.
According to geologists, Coober Pedy's desert landscape is the best match for the moon's surface.
Plain, hilly, red land, weathered sand and rock, all of which can make you feel the charm of the moon. There is also a world-famous historic site in the town-the props of the spaceship in the movie Star Legend. It looks as if it were hurriedly landing on the surface of the moon and falling into the sand and stone at once. It's spectacular, and it's coming out with a series of sci-fi blockbusters!
Australia has the world's longest fence, 5614 kilometers long, originally built to keep Australian wild dogs out of fertile land.
If the weather is fine, walk around the town at night and look up to find the entire galaxy visible to the naked eye.
Tips：
Teach you how to shoot the Milky way in the simplest fool mode of a micro-single camera:

Day 5: Kuberpedi-Pimba-Port-Adelaide
Travel about 368km south of the A87, about 3 hours and 40 minutes, from Cooper Peidi, and visit the vintage tavern in Pimba for a different view of Australia's inland town.
Continue south for about 2 hours and 40 minutes to the port of Peary, another typical leisurely seaport town, and then drive back to Adelaide for about 3 hours.
Tips：
1. In fact, I think that the fun of self-driving is to stay with their own mood, continue, find fun places along the way, delicious restaurants, beautiful scenery, only belong to your favorite special travel.
2. Every town on the Australian highway route has a unique charm. If the larger tourist town, there must be a visitor center tourist information center, there can get a lot of very useful pamphlets about the local history and culture, but also remember to talk to the staff about their proudest local characteristics!
3. The most important thing to miss on Australian road travel is the Roadhouse- road pub along the barren inland road, which is a gas station, perhaps a front desk in a camping area, a motel, and a desert oasis. You can find a lot of valuable special collections there and meet a lot of interesting people.
