If I’m ever stuck for a topic to write about, I only have to look in my backyard. It’s easy for me to forget the grand, the immense, the weird, the frightening and the frightful milieu of Australia. I’m standing in it and don’t see the really unusual.
Take Coober Pedy for example. Kupa Piti. White Man in a Hole. Which is a precise and accurate name for a town in the middle of nowhere. And I really mean nowhere!
Cobber Pedy is slap bang in the middle of South Australia’s barren Outback desert where it’s too hot for anyone to live It’s the bloody desert for heavens sake!
It’s where the few thousand residents burrow underground to survive, and if you ever want to run away and hide- this is the place to come.
To my great joy I received a Purple Star for this lens.
