Coober Pedy

Now here's a one of a kind town in the world. Coober Pedy is a long way by bus from Port Augusta. We saw wild emus along the Stuart Highway and noted that a certain stretch of the highway was a dedicated emergency landing strip for planes and jets to use when necessary. We did keep our eyes in the skies just to make sure we weren't being confronted by some of Qantas' finest.

Our motel is in the side of the hill as are much of the establishments and dwellings. You would even call it a cave. The rooms get pretty dark day or night when you turn off the lights. The design is quite practical in the heat and dust storms they have here.

The programme too was one of a kind. You'll want to ask the songsters. They sang to God's honour and joy. Hallelujah!

John 20:8 (NIV)
8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
