Here, tourists can step into the eerie world of underground living, where permanent residents have built their very own homes and businesses beneath the chalky clay rocks in the Australian outback.
The mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia, comprises churches, museums, art galleries, restaurants, a bar and even hotels for travellers to get to experience the underground life first-hand.
Underneath the ground live 3,500 residents in dugouts or mud caves, with all amenities of a home above ground, including walk-in closets, fireplaces, modern kitchens and televisions.
The culturally diverse town is known for supplying the world with the majority of gem quality opal, which is their main source of income.
