Mt Eba Homestead to Coober Pedy, SA

Sunday 22nd May 2022
After another quiet night we are on our way again today. We are driving to Coober Pedy today. Yet again the countryside is beautiful as we drive along. We arrived there at about lunch time, had a look at a few things in Coober Pedy, most of them were underground – The Catholic Church, The Catacombs Church. I think it is a bit of a debating point whether than are underground as really most of them are dug into the hill as opposed to down in a hole. We then went for a 70km loop drive through an Aboriginal Heritage site called Kanku – The Breakaways. This was a scenic drive alongside the dog fence, passed the Moon Plains, Papa Kutjara (2 dogs) and another lookout. The landscape was very impressive.

We are camping at Riba’s Caravan Park tonight where we will go for an underground mine tour after dinner.
