Coober Pedy

Woomera has a few more people living there than in 2013, but is still largely a ghost town. One whole double story motel block has been vandalised and the doors hang off hinges and the red dirt is blowing in. A relief to rejoin the wide open spaces with the gentler curves of nature before me. Lake Hart has plentiful water and wildlife with the Ghan railway track running along the shore.

 Lake Gairdner just North of Woomera had little water

 While Lake Hart was beautiful with peaceful open woodlands all around

 While the underground Serbian church was an amazing feat of artistic mining, it is sadly looking neglected and unused.

 The tiny Catholic church also underground has been Heritage listed as the oldest underground church worldwide. The walls are a beautiful ochre deckled colour.

 The Anglican church has a distinctive bush feel to it with wattle the only flowers decorating the alters.
