We head further South, crossing the border back into SA to visit Coober Pedy, one of the places we were looking forward to visiting the most. We actually almost cut if out of the trip, but at the last minute changed our mind and headed South.
There is so much to see and do in this little Opal town, and the amount of Opal found here and exported all around the world is incredible. We go on a few mine tours, visit an underground home, stay in an underground hotel and even try noodling while in town.
We are Hannah, Chris and dog Archie, setting off on a 12(ish) month trip around Australia - our BIG Staycation, with the whole of Australia as our backyard! We've quit our jobs, rented the house and gone from never towing a caravan, to touring the country full time with one! We're learning as we go! / staycationoz

@grahamthorne4146 2 года назад

Life in the desert - very different. Some lovely shots of the baby roos (Did you have any carrots for them ?) and nice to see Archie out and about again. Coober Pedy must be like a Gruyere cheese with all those tunnels going through it. Interesting to see.

We loved Coober. It’s a very interesting town.

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

It’s so unique, like no where else in Australia, so glad we went!!

@gail9906 2 года назад

Thank you for showing us so much of Coober Pedy. Sad about the weather. As a South Aussie, I can honestly say its been a long cold and wet Winter / Spring this year. You did the right thing heading North again. So happy Archie could join you most places you visited. 🐕❤🇦🇺🦘

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

The weather was a little hit and miss, and unfortunately meant we couldn’t do the Oodnadatta, but we still absolutely loved Coober Pedy!!

@exploringozwithtonyandgina 2 года назад

Another interesting episode guy’s and good to see Archie getting in on the action. We look forward to seeing your QLD travels and you never know we might bump into each other. We are currently in Cairns and heading up to Cooktown in a few days. Safe travels guys.

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Thanks so much!! We’re heading to Cairns tomorrow for a few days, then again in a week or so!! Love Cairns!!!

@exploringozwithtonyandgina 2 года назад

@@StaycationOz We are in Cairns until Thursday morning and then heading up further north eventually arriving in Cooktown for a few days then back to Cairns before then heading west 😀

Great presentation of Coober Pedy as I did not know there was so much on offer, yet I have travelled past or stopped in many times. It has become a common trend today that as Aussies we still have to pay to enter and see much of our own country, you would think that with the high taxes that we pay (including National Park employees, etc.) we should expect to see all of our country without being taxed again by way of an entrance fees.

@StaycationOz 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Kadachiman! We are big fans of Coober Pedy now - had a great time there! Know what you mean about entrance fees, but still plenty of free things to do too!! 🤩

We stayed at the Comfort Inn 10yrs ago and they said the umbrella catches the falling snakes and lizards lol

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Bahaha thank god no snakes or lizards fell in while we were there!! Lovely little hotel though and a great experience!! Thanks for watching!!

@theresanichols5172 2 года назад

I enjoyed watching this episode learning about Coober Pedy; however, it would have been SUPER helpful if you had added text at the bottom or something of what location you are visiting when you edit the video.

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Hey Theresa. Thanks - great feedback. We did try and remember to put the place name across the bottom of the screen if it was a place that we didn’t verbally introduce in the video, but we probably weren’t consistent enough across the videos!! ☺️

@bmpeers 2 года назад

loving all the underground nooks and crannies. you've got a sequel setup now to do the oodnadatta trail. why were they closed? flooding?

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Haha yea definitely will have to come back one day!! With all the rain before we arrived, starts to make the unsealed roads muddy with pools of water everywhere, so to protect the road they close it and wait till it dries out a bit. 👍

@Livin_Like_Kings_ 2 года назад

How good is Riba’s underground camping? Safe travels.

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

It’s sooo cool!! We absolutely loved that place!! The mine tour especially was fascinating!!👌👍

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Plus you meet some great people there!! 😜

@belindaforrester2028 2 года назад

I loved the music playing while you were visiting the churches. Do you have the name of that piece?

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Hi Belinda. Yes, it’s lovely isn’t it. It’s called Magic Night by Caleb Etheridge. 🎼🎶🎹😍

@travelsolo2677 2 года назад

Just a quick question guys , have you changed cameras & film equipment recently? Just been noticing that your footage is a lot more stabilised, great content btw 👍🇦🇺👍

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

Nah we haven’t changed anything, we’ve just started better using the stabilisation on the Go Pro and trying to do a better job when filming!! Thanks for noticing though 👍

@travelsolo2677 2 года назад

Did you try out John’s pizza? They have won Australia’s best pizza a few times now

@StaycationOz 2 года назад

We did go to Johns pizza and it was great!! Never knew it had won Australia’s best pizza though!!!
