Australia, SA
THE DAY OF DAYS

Still in Weirdo Central we decided to take a tour of some of the under ground houses and other bazaar places Coober Pedy has to offer. Bellow our underground campsite.

The Underground church! above, And below the home of the renowned pervert Croc-Thingy. He was he original Croc-Dundee, living in the NT bush in the early 60's hunting crocs and living off the land. Now old and frail his house is a museum of kicker and assaulted other things from his many conquests. But still not afraid to try his luck as Amanda found out!!

 

Above a underground house, very smart.. the wall colouring is the real wall not a cool wall paper.

 

We decided to go on a opal mine tour, being an ex-miner myself I could not wait to see the difference from the gold mines. Umm I don't ever remember anyone using divining sticks in the mines I worked in! 

 

THEN THE MOMENT WHEN TIME STOPPED

THE WORLD CUP FINAL

 

We were joined by a group we had meet in Alice while watching another of the England games, MISSION to shake Hell and make sure no one forgot who we were. "COME ON ENGLAND!!!"

I was betted up to the eye-balls with the bar manager who was certain that the Ozies would polish up.. To say the game was a little tense was probably an understatement, having eaten my way down to the knuckles on my fingers.

 

BUT in true St. George style we win.. Barman I think that Bar is mine.. We LOVE IT

 

The local Ozies made a quick escape not wanting to see the celebrating English get completely smashed until the bar closed.

 

Even those Dutch got into the sprit of things.. Well done John
