There Is An Entire Town In Australia That Lives Beneath The Surface Of The Earth
Have you ever met someone from a small town? It’s not uncommon for such people to say things like “if you blink you might miss it” as a way to indicate just how small their hometowns are. However, there is a town in the outback of Australia where you can keep your eyes wide open and still miss it despite the 1,695 residents that live there full-time. The town is Coober Pedy and the reason you might miss it is because it is entirely underground! The town would be your typical mining town except that instead of living on the surface the residents have gone bellow ground in order to escape the excessive heat which can reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Their homes are called “dugouts” and they cost about the same as building a regular house above ground, only you have the possibility of finding Opals in the “opal capital of the world” as you dig out your house. Many of the residents have found opals that not only covered the cost of building their homes but sometimes exceeded the cost by millions of dollars! This town is simply amazing in its strangeness.
