We leave Coober Pedy on a high
This place was great,seems funny to see caves sold as houses!! The Boom for opals seems to be over & the old eccentric type of miner with a tale to tell is slowly disappearing BUT the Opal Fields are still open to interested parties ( I’m eligible coz I bought a miners permit back in 83 for $10 !!! all I need is 4pegs from the CP council and away I go! keeping in mind each 10 metre deep by 1 metre across perfectly shaped round hole costs me a minimum $400 !!)
On the way out we did a last visit of some CP icons and they will be posted on my next Blog & then its off to Port Augusta
