Tuesday 27th March 2012 Day 28 Coober Pedy South Australia

Today we visited the Old Timer's Mine exhibit in Coober Pedy. This was a very well presented self tour walking through several chambers of an original opal mine and then through to the main rooms of one of the families that lived underground back in the 1960's. Well worth a visit. Next it was off to check out some of the opal stores eventually visiting the Opal Beetle with a VW beetle out the front. Couldn't resist.
We also organised a 4WD trip with Wayne from Arid Areas Tours for Wednesday visiting Lake Eyre via William Creek. Looking forward to this we decided to relax with a cold XXXX beer for the rest of the day.
