roof of dugout There is a house under this hill - commonly called a dugout View of houses The big winch They don't care where they leave their old cars Col looks at home here - who needs a job? Underground Church Col was dying to play here until ............................. He realised there was no grass!!!!! Temperature was 40 degrees lets leave that one alone. Machine digs these tunnels Houses - dugouts are built in some disused mines, soil conditions need to be perfect though Underground bedroom Constant 24 degrees down here all year round Opal - posh so not valuable no colour Hi everyone, we reached Coober Pedy without any problems without the rest of our family they are still in Renmark waiting on car parts. Coober Pedy is a truly fascinating place, we both love it. Such a great contrast again from the Sunshine Coast and in fact anywhere else in Australia that we have seen. The town is the Opal Capital of the world and has a population of around 3,500. There are 45 different nationalities represented here and about 60% of people living here are European. About half of the houses and businesses here are built above ground and the other half underground or some have above ground and equally as much house underground, they call these houses dugouts. The reason for this is to keep the houses cooler – Coober Pedy is very hot. Houses underground maintain a constant 24 degrees both winter and summer, the average cost for a home like this is around $70,000, there are some much grander homes also which would be worth a lot more than this. The dugout houses are disused shafts and mines that were once mined for opal. No more mining is allowed within the town, even though it’s believed there is still opal here because it is now too dangerous that there are people living in the town, the mining takes place within a radius of 75km around town. Colin was interested to see a golf course with not a blade of grass! You will see photo’s the greens are sand with oil mixed in, otherwise the sand would blow away. It is not unusual for Coober Pedy to suffer dust storms. There are photo’s of a magnificent underground church, you will see the walls and ceilings are natural just with a glaze over to protect them. The church has some beautiful hand carvings that were done by a visiting New Zealander. I have mixed feelings sending this blog; I am seeing so much devistation in Qld it seems petty to spend time putting together our photo’s of our wonderful trip. So many of our friends and my customers will be effected by this devastation either directly or indirectly. Our thoughts go out to them. I am sure all of you feel the same way and our thoughts and prayers are with those effected. Thankyou for viewing our blog I hope you enjoyed it.

I completely fell head-over-heels for Cascais. Cascais wasn’t originally on my itinerary. But I found myself with an extra day in Lisbon and decided it would be a good idea to take a day trip to Cascais. Unfortunately, so did about a thousand other people and I had to wait an hour in the train station for an hour just to buy a ticket. Learn from my mistakes and get started early in the morning! Barring the obnoxious wait time, I loved everything about my trip to Cascais. It used to be a sleepy little fishing village, but it’s now a major beach town in Portugal. Not only are the beaches picturesque, the houses are colored in pretty pastels and flowers drip all over the facades. I strolled through the streets without even a hint of an itinerary or a map, just letting myself get lost among the alleyways. At one point I bought an ice cream and enjoyed it by the glimmering Atlantic. It was such a perfect day. It’s only a 40 minute train ride away from Lisbon, so if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend this as a day trip!
