Australia’s hidden underground town | WIDE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- The small mining town of Coober Pedy in Australia has developed most of its life underground. Located in the middle of the Outback, “the capital of opal mining” reaches 50 degrees celsius in summer.
Like the miners of earlier times, many of the current residents have chosen to live in the dugouts to better weather the heat and save energy consumption.
Jimmy the runner, a well-respected former miner who settled in Coober Pedy from Greece, shows us around every corner of this peculiar underground neighborhood.

That’s my dad- Jimmy the runner! I’m very proud to watch this beautiful video ❤❤❤❤
Are there any elementary schools under ground or health clinics?
This place is amazing. More places in the world should be looking into this way of life, especially with the coming of climate change. 50C is when a healthy human body starts to shut down. The demand for air conditioning is skyrocketing all over North America. To me 23C sounds chilly, but I like warmer temperatures than most people due to my chronic illness.
The world needs to start looking at places worldwide in places that endure extreme temperatures to find out how to live more efficiently and effectively.
I saw a video about a large apartment complex in the Russian arctic that had to be very self-sufficient, because there was only one road from outside and it was not passable in winter, 6-8 months of the year. It had its own school, shops, church, and underground tunnels to these places that you could walk to outside in the summer.
Do you remember the name of the Russian building complex ? I’m really curious about it
2 weeks ago my Sis and I did a road trip we stayed in Coober Pedy on our way to Uluru and what an eye opener, it was 32° degree in winter, so yup it gets mighty hot out there during there summer 'you will melt, I went underground to see and get the feels, not for me sorry I like being on top of the ground, takes a special kind of people to live underground, I had intentions of going into the mines for a tour and hopefully dig my own Opal but changed my mind after seeing so much Opal for sale and the amount of land dug up for this precious stone, I had one gifted to me from an aboriginal wāhine ( woman) for safe travels and that was more than enough for me 💚
If it was 32 above ground, how cool was it underground? I'd want it at least half of that.

Amazing underground town with great informative video of Australia!! Regards💕💕💕
Thanks, that was a very good show.
awesome town
Add hydroponics and solar/wind and perhaps even geothermal energy to that mix (with batteries) and they could be self sufficient. Granted, they could also do with higher ceilings and some sort of sealant on those limestone walls so they are not as vulnerable to chafing. I expect Polar and Desert climates could learn a thing or two.
Amazing ❤
What about animals?
Soil of Australia nurtures many species.
Any special one found here?
Underground places of Coober Pedy keeps cool in the summer with the heat of the temperatures of 120 degrees Fahrenheit in Southern Australia.

A good place 2 hide during a nuclear war.
And hide from the Machines afterward...
Is it far enough underground for that? I haven't looked it up recently, but bunkers need to fairly far down underground I think. You also need filtered air and water, or fresh water supply (can you filter radioactive air and water?). The doors and windows to the outside need to be sealed. It's a good start though. It looks like digging further down and adding filters and seals wouldn't be too difficult compared to other places.
