Day 3: Adelaide - Coober Pedy

Today is the start of your exhilarating outback adventure! Drive to Coober Pedy or "Coobped" to locals. It's closer to Uluru than Adelaide, 846km north of the SA capital.

Coober Pedy means "white fella's hole in the ground", an Aboriginal comment on the dugout dwellings that early miners (returned WWI soldiers, said to have been inspired by the trenches of the Western Front) created to escape the fierce summer heat. These innovative caves maintain indoor temperatures between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius, even when it's 45°C in the shade outside. Overnight in your 4WD Bush camper.
