mad max country

that's where i am now, also known as coober pedy and as the biggest opal city in the world! anyway, the mad max films and also 'pricilla, queen of the dessert' were filmed in this area...and after yesterdays tour i can understand why.

the dugouts by the way are usually old mines, and people live in there because it's much cooler in the summer & much warmer during cold winter nights

off to alice springs early tomorrow morning, and on thursday it's uluru for 4 days!
