I am an on/off local of Coober Pedy for 25+ years and this is the only place I take tourists to for a quick look if they are short on time. Take your time on the tour; read the signs, look at the faults in the wall and read the history in the museum area. A very easy place to lose track of time for a few hours!
4. Josephine's Gallery and Kangaroo Orphanage
Overall Ratings

Josephine's Gallery is a 'MUST SEE' whilst in Coober Pedy. Wander through the impressive ABORIGINAL ART GALLERY, play a DIDGERIDOO, choose a beautiful OPAL from our extensive range or KISS A KANGAROO. Our passion is raising orphaned kangaroos and we offer you the opportunity to see these amazing creatures up close and maybe even hold a baby. Feeding times daily at 12 noon and 5:30pm. Don't be late!

Local art, baby kangaroos and the most lovely owners. This place deserves a visit, if only to chat to the owners and hear all they do for the injured wildlife around here. Great work.
5. Catacomb Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 256 reviews
An Underground church named after the Catacombs in Rome. A place of serenity where week by week we tell others the great news that Jesus still forgives sin for those who seek him.

This tour was part of our Ghan Expedition and was outstanding. We were given a tour of the old mine and underground home by Dimitrios who had so much knowledge of opal mining and the history, having been personally involved for many years. He was a class act and we were astounded when he realised we had two deaf participants on our tour and he noticed this and signed personally for them for the whole of the tour. What an impressive man. So caring and compassionate. We salute you Dimitrios.

The Breakaways and driving the circuit are a definite must while in Coober Pedy. Magnificent formations and geological delights, coupled with the indigenous stories and the history of the Dingo fence make this a special excursion. Great at any time, but especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset - but take the Aeroguard!
