Spectacular South Australia

SERBIAN UNDERGROUND CHURCH Sunday we did the town and mine tour, unfortunately it was raining, pretty sure Coober Pedy received half it's annual rainfall which is a whole 5". A lot of homes and business's are in dug outs, the church is very impressive, note the shape of the ceiling.

WILLIAM CREEK Yesterday I did the mail run day tour - www.mailruntour.com which as you would guess you go with the mail man as he delivers mail to the outback cattle stations, one of them is the largest in Australia. The scenery changes as you go around and we also got to see the dingo fence, the longest man-made construction in the world. Dingos are one of the largest killers of stock. We left Coober Pedy at 9.00 am and I got home at 10.00 pm, Paul did not fancy having that amount of time sitting in a vehicle.

THE BREAKAWAYS Today we drove back out to this area as it was part of our Sunday tour and it was too dismal to get out due to the weather. It was great to have time today to have a really good look around. The colours and shapes are just breath taking.

COOBER PEDY CEMETERY Karl found out that he only had a couple of weeks to live so he went to the local Westpac - only bank in town and got a loan for $10,000.00 then put the money on the bar, even the bank staff partook. This is a photo of his headstone and the bank apparently never recovered the money, he was a very popular man around town as you can imagine.
