Coober Pedy
Well, almost all of Coober Pedy in South Australia's opal mining town of population 3,500. The town's name comes from a mispronunciation of Aboriginal phrase meaning "the whites a hole." The outdoor temperature climbing above 120 degrees, most of the residents living in the underground rock carved into the home. Shops, churches, hotels, even the swimming pool, so that air unnecessary.
The first opal is found in rose-colored sandstone town soon became the opal capital of the world in 1915. Discharged World War I soldiers came looking for their big break, and will sleep in shelters. The birth of the underground life.
