In Episode Five, Matt arrives in the iconic mining town of Coober Pedy, renowned as the opal capital of the world and famous for its unique underground lifestyle. His first stop is Faye’s Historic Underground Home, where he delves into the fascinating story of how locals have carved out lives – literally – beneath the earth’s surface. Next, Matt visits the quirky and eccentric Crocodile Harry’s underground lair, a treasure trove of outback oddities and local legends.
Matt explores the town’s opal legacy, getting up close with some of the precious gems that put Coober Pedy on the map. Along the way, he swings by The Big Miner, an iconic monument paying homage to the town’s mining roots, and climbs up to The Big Winch for sweeping views of the rugged landscape. A visit to the unofficial KISS museum adds a rock ‘n’ roll twist to the adventure, and a stop at the Outback Bar and Grill provides a chance to unwind and soak in the local atmosphere.
Join Matt in this unforgettable exploration of one of Australia’s most unique towns, where the outback meets ingenuity and eccentricity at every turn!
