We welcome you to Coober Pedy (Umoona), South Australia.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Antakirinja Yunkunytjatjara people. We recognise their connection to this beautiful place and respect all Elders, ancestors and first nations people past and present.
Enjoy your stay, and safe travels.
Around 150 million years ago, Coober Pedy was covered by ocean – and when the water receded, the sandy silica minerals from the seabed flowed into the rocky cracks and cavities and solidified over time into multi-coloured gem-stone – opal. Explore the opal capital!
