Welcome to Coober Pedy

One of the favorite place & unique place to travel. Will come again Coober Pedy.❤️

Welcome to Coober PedyVisited on 17/6/2019This is a specific spot, and I shall review it accordingly. Unfortunately, many photos supplied by other reviewers are NOT relevant to this site.It is a vast unsealed open space. There is no shade or shelter, so it can be very hot, and windy at times.A disused truck with a bin is mounted on a platform, with the words Welcome to Coober Pedy, provides a fantastic backdrop for photo shoot - stay in an album to remind one of one's visit.At a distance around this site are pyramidal shape mounts of mullock excavated by machine or explosives. There are some interesting and yet informative sign boards alerti g people not to walk backwards in case of falling into a mine pit.This can be the top tourist attraction if a proper information centre is built, with a Cafe or barbecue faciliy. Better still, including a working model of an opal mine in a museum will draw many more visitors and just money.

This is a great place to take a photo. Please be courteous. Remember there are other people who want to take a picture with the sign so please don't park your car directly under the sign if others are waiting.

Surprised how greT this town is. Had a wonderful time

The Coober Pedy is a unique place nothing on the rest of the planet is like this, and it is the best town to buy opals.

was driving past and saw a couple of drunks and a fat guy climbing onto the actual sign. I could of swore as I drove past I heard one of them say something about a geo cache"?"

Great sign, big open space to park your car, motorcycle, caravan, and big bus. There were many cars waiting when we first visited, we waited after dinner and there is no one there. Took some nice pictures and even did a motorcycle jump next to the sign.

Room was a nice experiance,but a bit of a walk to main dinning and bar area.Young patrons very loud and boystrious while we were having dinner!!

Great place to get a picture
