The Underground City Founded by a Bored Teen The remote South Australian town of Coober Pedy takes its name from the Aboriginal words. These words are “kupa-piti,” A___________. In 1914, 500 miles north of Adelaide in the middle of nowhere, a 14-year- old boy named Willie Hutchison was left behind in camp while his dad and the other men were out prospecting for gold. B___________, Willie got bored and wandered off to look around. The men were alarmed to return to an empty camp, but Willie showed up later that night with a huge bag of opals slung over his shoulder. To this day, 70 percent of the world's opals are mined around Coober Pedy.
With its lack of trees, clouds of flies, and summer temperatures rising into the 120s, Coober Pedy is a tough place to visit, let alone live. Today, the city has about 1,800 residents, and it's still an eccentric mining town. It has a movie theater — but it’s a drive-in, C___________. It has a golf course — but without grass (golfers carry around a bit of turf for teeing off) and using mostly glow-in-the-dark balls (night golf is big here, to avoid the scorching daytime sun). Signs all around town warn visitors not to fall in one of the landscape's many unmarked holes, reminders of past opal digs.
Residents spend a lot of time in holes, D___________. Most of Coober Pedy is a subterranean community built into underground shelters called “dugouts” E___________. Some homeowners have hammer-and-picked out bookshelves right into their sandstone walls, and a local underground church has intricate carved portraits of the saints. One woman even has a swimming pool in her (below-ground) living room. You can check it out for yourself next time you’re in the middle of the South Australian desert, F___________.
