On the way further south you can experience the real australian outback. So far I haven`t got the real feeling beeing in the desert but there is one place where there you feel like on Moon - Coober Pedy.
First you have to cross the border to South Australia - the driest state of the driest continent on this planet!
First - it realy look like as there is nothing - but here you have to look closer!
Much closer - 20m below the earth!
Here you can find (if you are very lucky) valuable gem stones - the OPAL.
Coober Pedy is the Opal captial of the world which looks on its first sight more as the biggest collection of mole hills!
With all those treasures around me it didn`t took long, to receive the ultimate mission from her majestiy - find her lost opals!
Here I am, with a leathal mission and completle glueless - so I start as everyone around - with "noodeling" (by digging with your own hands in dirt)
My tough trainings as double 00 payed off after I hold the jewel in my hands:
Yes - and not only THE Opal I found, also GOLD was with me!!!
Blessed by god ...
...and all the lost souls on this digging grounds....
... I could fulfill this mission and return safely!
This was a long way to go - here is the evidence - happy anniversery!!!
