The town of
Coober Pedy is one of the most interesting places in Australia. More than 60% of the people in this town, which has a desert climate, live in houses carved underground. creates. The town is considered the capital of opal mining in the world.
First of all, I bought a bus ticket to Alice Springs.. Tomorrow evening, I will take the 18:00 bus and get off at Coober Pady at 05:30 in the morning.. After spending a night in an underground hotel in Coober Pedy, which is known as the center of Australia’s opal mine and an outback town, I will again take my Greyhound bus at 05:30 in the morning and go to Alice Springs.
Twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Ghan Train runs from Adelaide to Alice Springs. It takes 48 hours to travel from Adelaide to Darwin at the North end using this 2979-kilometer railway in the south and north directions.. My last stop in Australia is Darwin, but since I will go to the east coast first, I chose the bus with a ticket price of $188.. If you are among the first ten people to buy a ticket from the Ghan train, which can reach Alice Springs in 24 hours, it will cost 160$, but as the discounted tickets have already been sold, there was 3 hours before the train departed. I went to visit the building. When I went to the South Australian Parliament Building, which was built in 1881 and is one of the most magnificent parliament buildings in Australia, which is on the list of places to see, I was told that it is closed to visitors.. It is necessary to be here before 14:00 in the afternoon to see this magnificent building, whose construction took 58 years due to hesitation.. I also visited the Imigration Museum right next door.
In addition to information about the first immigrants who came to the state of South Australia, their life, there was a special introduction section with Uyghur Turks in the special section.. In this section, there were information and exhibitions about the cultures, clothes and instruments, history of the Uighur Turks.. Afterwards, I spent all my time in the Library editing and writing the photos.
