Located in a small, inland town in north-central South Australia, Cuperpedi (Coober Pedy) is about 850km from Adelaide and in the desert.
Cooper Peidi is rich in opal (Opal, also known as Opal, Australian gemstones, etc.), is the world's largest opal production area, most of the world's opals are produced here.
The temperature is high and dry, often over 40 degrees Celsius in summer, where 80 percent of locals live underground, and churches, hotels and golf courses are underground, so Cuperpedi is also known as an "underground city."
Cuberpedi is a favorite place for deep tourists, and there may be a risk of sleeping on the streets if you don't book a room in advance during the peak season. Due to the limited time, we choose this choice to go to Kuberpedi for 3 days, and also try to live in the low ground feeling.
Cooper Pedie, a desolate desolation of waste land, seemed to travel through time and space to the western United States more than a hundred years ago. What you can see is the old photo tone of yellow sand, no green mountains, no boundless shores, no abandoned cars and mining equipment everywhere, however, there are real tourists here, and the hotel we have booked is a big parking lot. Stop all kinds of tourists, all the firepower of the kitchen, let people rarely see lively.
Cooper Pedie introduced me here for the time being to tell me about my schedule.
- D1, 9: 00 departure, Adelaide direct drive Kuberpedi, I direct navigation to the hotel reservation, 856 kilometers, expected to arrive at 7 p.m., ready for Chinese food on the road, all the way to the highway, it is difficult to find a place to eat. I live in Cooper Petty.
- D2, play Cooper Paddy, live in Cooper Peidi.
- D3, 9: 00 departure, Cooper Peidi to Woomera (Woomera), about 380km, is expected to arrive at 12: 30 noon. Woomera, an open Royal Air Force missile base in (RAAF) with a population of less than 200, uses Chinese food and looks at military equipment such as decommissioned aircraft and cannon. Take a break, leave 13:00, and go to (Bumbunga Lake, Pescadora Lake, about 350km away, expected to reach 160030, have dinner, play for an hour, leave 17:30, and return to Adelaide. The journey is about 130 kilometers, and it is expected to be home by 19:00.
A good trip, a reasonable travel plan is very important. While doing the trip, it is another kind of pre-check-up for this trip, and it is also a rare experience. All right, don't talk much nonsense. Let's take a look at the photos of this trip.
Almost evening, finally arrived at the residence, if the big parking lot, actually parked full of, I was surprised, travel in Australia for so long, really did not see such a popular place, chosen for a long time. Still want to experience the feeling of living under the ground, ha, to tell the truth, regret, I am not a mole ah, the most important is that I have a body that will die if I do not go online, there is no wifi. underground
The machine, which looks ragged, is the giant starship props used in (Pitch Black), a 2000 film produced by Polarkin Pictures and Entertainment Company (PolyGram Filmed Entertainment).
This is a typical local shop outside the photo, fun, you do not look carefully, do not know, so this is their shop.
This place is very popular, this is crocodile Harry's underground nest, it is very popular here. This is a very magical man, who had participated in the war before, went to Australia to catch crocodiles after retiring, and when he got older, he went to the middle of Australia to be a strange uncle. He didn't have a child without a woman and he didn't get married. The only hobby was women. It was estimated that most of the women in this town had something to do with him at that time, and his residence was full of statues or underwear of women. The ceiling and walls of the cave were covered with yellow.
This is Harry's bedroom, and it's really necessary to visit this place. You can see a study, a restaurant, a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and even more adorable, you can see a bathroom, and a very clever bath. The cave is not very boring, many walls are artificially punched some small holes ventilation.
The picture above shows the back garden of Harry's family.
See this picture, is it a very image of the interpretation of waste land? Full of eyes to see is such a road, ha. It's not the desert we imagined, but it's bleak enough.
The picture above is Fay's underground home (Faye's Underground Home) 's kitchen). In fact, if it is ignored in the cave, the feeling that there are ordinary Australians is almost the same.
This picture was taken by me overlooking the whole town on the top of the hill. The whole town looks very backward and poor, but in fact, the people here are still very rich, because there are many tourists. And the gems they could dig out of their own hands.
This abandoned vehicle can be seen everywhere, I don't know which year and month which car, it feels as if it has passed through history, back to the undeveloped western United States.
This is Josephine Gallery and Josephine's Gallery & Kangaroo Orphanage), of course you first entered the studio, there is an aboriginal Australian man painting, of course, my appreciation is very poor, can not understand that kind of art. However, the hostess of the family is a very caring white man. She adopted many small animals whose mother was killed on the highway. There are quite a number of species, not only kangaroos, but also small emus, and so on. Today, she is very fortunate. They have just rescued a very small kangaroo, still open their eyes, still breast-feeding, ha. The big kangaroo, which was so small when it was rescued, is now growing up and very close to human beings.
The picture above is a beautiful basement garden, lovely, these people really want everything ah. I thought of the custom of living in caves in the northwest of China, but how could they be so beautiful? they have not only gardens in caves, but swimming pools in other places. It's really awesome.
The picture above was taken while leaving Cuppere (Coober Pedy). It is reserved as a souvenir.
I don't know where this place belongs, but it's beautiful. When I drive here, I see a distant white on the highway, and it seems to be surrounded by smoke, and it feels like a fairyland. On the way back, a little stop, it turned out to be a very large dry salt lake, leaving only a piece of white salt, as if it had just snowed snow.
The picture above is taken by Woomera (Woomera). In fact, I was trying to see what the military base here looks like. I was very curious, but when I went there, I felt nothing. Those aircraft and cannons, and so on, felt like toys from a small Chinese park. I've seen it a couple of times. Oh, my God, this is really a military plane and a cannon. What do you think of the elephant model? This small town because of very few people, almost no human on the road, but can see some wild animals walk freely on the main road, give me a kind of illusion? It seems that mankind has just perished, the feeling that wild animals walk freely on the road of human beings, there is really no human being on the road here except us, but there are a lot of wild animals.
Above is the photo taken by (Port Augusta) of the port of Augusta, just in need of refueling, just go and see, here is a small town built on the edge of the bay, the scenery is beautiful, standing on the tower look down, relaxed and happy.
The last two photos were taken at (Port Germein), the port of German, known as the longest pier in the southern hemisphere. This trestle road has 1.5 kilometers, ah, it takes 3 kilometers to walk back and forth, it will take an hour. I would like to go to the end of the trestle, look at the depths of the sea, but time really can not let myself stay for more than an hour, heart regret. I can only take pictures at the door.
The picture above is really beautiful here in Pescadores (Bumbunga Lake),. From a distance, you can see a big piece of pink. It's almost dark by then, so the photos are a little gray and cloudy, and there's no way to see the sunset. I didn't get close to taking pictures. I had to go back to Adelaide before it was completely dark. It was mainly because I was afraid that it would be unsafe to run into kangaroo at night, so I didn't have time to make more stops. If I wanted to play around these places in depth, It is recommended to play for at least 4 and 5 days, so that you don't look like me and leave a pity.
Take a final photo of the sunset off the coast of Adelaide.
