- Nearly 1,700 People Live Underground In The Australian Desert, But Why? 🔷🔷🔷 Would you sleep underground in the middle of this desert? This is what nearly 1,700 people do every night. In the Australian desert-where temperatures reach almost 120°F (50°C) during the day and plummet to freezing cold levels at night-there are 1,762 people who live completely underground. But why?

I visited there in the 90s. All the houses I saw had above ground living space as well as underground. It's not too hot to live above ground most of the year and it cools down a lot at night. They also have an amazing underground hotel. The biggest problem there is frequent scares of water shortages.
I had a short solo-trip to Coober Pedy in 2014. Arrived at very early morning on 31 December after spent more than 8 hours rode on Greyhound from Adelaide. Stayed in Radeka Inn, owned by old Aystralian-French couple. It was amazing to have a chance to wander around the city and want to come there at least one more time, but honestly I can't imagine to reside there.
A client told me her dad built their house out of a cave in TX, also the land had dinosaur tracks where she played as a kid.
I've seen it. Near San Antonio in the Hill Country. It's pretty famous.
@@rob3637 oh, wow 👀 😲 I wonder if she knows.
Ross Geller would have loved it 😂😂
@@abhishekgorle8068 Me too, imagine your backyard being an archeologist dream.
@@rob3637 Do you know what it's called?,she told me when her father remarried he unfortunately sold the land.
I had a claustrophobic feeling while watching this.. The only time I would want to be underneath any land is after I am dead..
Yeah me too 🤣
Me too. I actually felt like I couldn’t breathe
me too I cant breathe..I need fresh air..I need sunight
No, not for me either ! .
Yae mah.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The soil is rich in precious stone of opal.
It’s very nice to live in this space, the air is very clean and good to breath.
Very cool in the hot summer.
Nice for some, I imagine. I'll take my outdoors, fresh air and sun any day!!
This seems great (for them). For me I am happy living above the ground when alive.
You'd rather die of heat?
🤣🤣
I love the rustic feel of the houses under ground, like the underground houses of shire in lord of the rings, but the corridors looks very lonely and a bit eerie though, like someone might jump from your back. I have a phobia on dark, tight corridors so living in this place might be a pass for me 😱
@lesley leslie yeah I agree it has a really cozy feel once you get inside one of the houses or establishments. Are the houses and establishments connected to each other inside?
But how do u breathe there. Oxygen supply?
I'd like to have a mansion like that with a secret entrance disguised as an out-house. Ha Ha Mr Tax Man!
That would be a mighty cavernous outhouse basement 😄😄😄.
Artful Dodger!
I lived in a dugout home for 2 years in Coober Pedy, i loved it.
Oh good cuz the video left me with all kinds of questions. How do people make a living? Electricity? Plumbing? What about sunlight for mental health? Does everybody know everybody? Why did you leave? How much was rent? They have a grocery store? Do people have xars? How far to the nearest town? And how cultists is it, really though.
I gotta go wikipedia this. Thanks!
@@coppersense999 of course they would have grocery store. Tourists go there all the time.
@@coppersense999 yes, how cultist is it?
Were there a lot of bugs?
Source of oxygen
This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. WOW. 😍
Thanks internet.
Wow. Absolutely incredible. Of course, not the first time I have heard of underground cities, but it is the first time I heard of it on the desert as a means to be able to live there while escaping the heat. 👍
Down memory lane...22 years on. Been
there, rested in an underground apartment in 1998. We're from PNG. my three children, their father and I were on our way to Adelaide. We were in Alice Springs for a year. It was school holidays for my two older children. Enjoyed our stay in Adelaide.
my three children, their father and I --------------- top.!
Extraordinary inventive and creative. It reminds me of the underground city in Cappadochia, Turkey. The climate must have been hotter than today and they found a solution to live underground. Impressive...!
My ex wife was raised there and her home had 17 rooms in it all underground. You live there because the temp is about 21-22 deg C all year round while the temps in the summer run into the 60's. They started living there because it was the only way to beat the heat during the summer and it stayed warm in the winters. Quite a place.
Wow
Woow nice..can we get the address to visit. Thanks in advance.
@@Arbaelo3 the last time I was over there the property had been purchased by the Opal Hotel and it had enlarged it a lot and totally changed it. There were some niches in the walls where my wife's folds would put things like decorations and the like. Other than that it was totally different.
@@elbrujo6974 but where is it? Thanks
Coober Pedy S A is in New South Wales, Au and about 200k north of Port Augusta. It is all paved to there now and an easy drive although long.
Thanks for doing this little vid! I wanna know more. I've heard of this place but not for the town itself, only for its opals.
Nothing odd about this. My daughter in law and 4 siblings were raised in an underground home in CP. All went to university in Adelaide. Father mined opal successfully.
Well.... it's still odd whether you know people from there or not
I don't think it's odd. Never lived there but been through there many times. SA to NT. I like the sound of the even temps underground. I worked many yrs in NT & it's bloody hot. Although probably wouldn't work in NT due to the wet season downpours. There are a lot of underground caves in Katherine I expect they flood every wet season. Bugger!
@@bigbyrome why ? Ppl visit all the time
For a motel, they could call it: "The Cave Inn"
Lol!😁
Hahaha.... very funny. 😂😂😂
... as long as it doesnt cave in. 😁
Good one!
What about for food, do they have "cave" out?
That's amazing. I never would have thought it was possible.
To be very honest, if the world turned upside down. This is one of the best places to go too. That's for sure
If the WORLD turned upside down, that would also turn upside down. .
@@sharonsharn5467 it's a saying, remember ur not from my world and it seems to me you have no sense of humour :)
@@sharonneethling7778 well I didn't know it was a saying Cz like u say I'm not from your world. So then u decide to assume I don't have a sense of humour? Okkkkk 😞
@@sharonsharn5467 well u did come across like that. Reminded me of the stiff upper class of ol London, i mean really, who wants to be a cow.
@@sharonneethling7778 you I guess.
this is insane!
thank you for sharing!
Everyone sounds so scared of this caving in. This would be the best setup imaginable for a nuclear war. Safe underground in an Australian city. I would love this.
No its just solid rock down there and not far from the ww2 nuclear bomb test sites alot of people die out there from not being adequately equipped for driving in that desert.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover boy scout wilderness survival shelters try Mahorrla Protect Ownlife Method (just google it )?
It is a good exclusive product for protecting your family from danger without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
Kirsty Lyons What have the 1950s nuclear tests got to do with anything?
This raises a few vital questions. eg, what are the arrangements for ventilation? And, equally, if not more important, sanitation?
mukund phanasalkar look at 2:51
All the facilities like water, sewer and electric are on the surface.
Bro you talk like you've never crapped in a bucket and bathed in a barrel
What planet are you from
@@scottcantdance804 😂
@@scottcantdance804 maybe he's from planet Venus. Pffftt!
In a bucket? Lolol
No thanks, I like the sound of rain and no artificial lighting.
WOW so glad i clicked on this....amazing place...love underground man made and cave systems.
I was curious of the toilet, laundry, kitchen, etc. drainage system but the place sure is done nicely and very appealing. 👍👏🌷
They could be buried alive some day scarry
Pump
@@veronicasimpson7953 that's what I'm thinking.
Better to live underground and avoid the scorching heat!
Good point. Midwest Illinois is now having 90 degree days, plus unbearable timidity.
Underground is hotter, the more u dig the hotter it gets
@@justinshoats848 Underground is actually cooler. If you've ever been in mining shafts or caves you notice the difference immediately.
If you're speaking of geothermal energy, depending on the area, you need to go at least half a kilometre down.
@@justinshoats848 nope
It’s like earth
Cooper Peedy is not only a town it has a lot of Opal mines as well. That’s where a lot of beautiful opals come from. Very Proud Aussie🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍😍
PJ D I really don’t know how proud you should since the country belongs to the aboriginals. Sheesh, could you people be proud of stealing..
PJ D It's COOBER not Cooper!!
Yes, I'd live there without hesitation.
Without this video I would have never thought this is possible in today's date. Informative video.
Ok. The background music was perfect for the video.. 🙌👍
Kim Loch Park I agree
Underground music ...
LOL in a creepy kind way
Music name ?
I like the music too ha ha ha but not to live there
Well, oh well! A whole new meaning of “down under “! LoL
good one
Thats a good one.. Lol 😁👍
There ya go
Good one mate
Brilliant vid. Awsome Town. Thanks.
Really nice. Thanks
Maybe i will start digging my kitchen,,who know's there's some gold...and i will make underground house🤣🤣🤣
Amazing and outstanding i would love to live in that town and contribute to it some kind of way. I love it.
Madly built .. fabulously done..
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work
Truly! Down under!
Ha.
Best! 😘
Eye would like to 'go down under the Heather, Locklear...make my spear disappear....(Chaucer)
That would be an interesting place to visit.
We have similar setup in London and in many cities where they have built train stations and runs trains, shopping malls and many more.
Also please add that this town has a solar electric generation system that supplies 70% of its requirements free of cost - and they don't need a cooler or heater - that adds to their energy efficiency and sustainability.
Sounds peaceful !
Doc: Marty, u gotta come back with me
Marty: Where?
Doc: Back to the future!
Amazing, evolving, back to the future 😊👌
PEACE I love it. Thank You for sharing..😀
I've been here it's nothing like they describe pretty much all of the town is above ground except for a few houses that are built into sides of hills and an underground motel
aaare you sure you cant see them all? lol
@Splendid Mendax Lol I was just about to write the same thing when I saw your comment Yes I've been there too and this video looks exactly the same as I saw Coober Pedy in real life Nice and cool those underground houses not to mention beautiful !😎
Thanks for the tip......I was considering booking. I will pass.
American scaremongering propaganda in order to gain larger military budget through FEAR.
@@jasminejones9058
Good
I wonder how many civilizations that we've never discovered,live underground?
Reptillians?
@@nurhayat81 they call it conspiracy theory, but think about it. Weve already had nuclear war based on nuclear glass findings and the vadic texts. They found (and not that long ago), abandoned underground cave systems that are vast and were lived in. There is so much crust people or other species could be living anywhere. I believe that is why we are not allowed at the south pole.
@@stevendaniels8652 I know of a a cave in Saudi Arabia so large that it has its own weather lol . There are many underground breakaway civs from the last 2k years more from before but they mostly died out. Biggest underground settlements I know of are in Afghanistan. Have like 45k people.
@@eliezercohengoldberg1381 really? Ive never heard of this. Amazing. 45k?!
@@eliezercohengoldberg1381 wow that’s awesome to hear about.Thank you for sharing...We all need to know about all that is hidden.
Great video, thank you.
I saw this town on House Hunters International. This video showed so MUCH more of the town! I'd love to visit there someday
Hello Susan how are you doing!!
Like ivan, I was there with my hubby and three young children, now adults 22 years ago. We spent a night on our way to Adelaide the next day for a week's holiday from Alice Springs.. What a wonderful experience for us. We're from Papua new Guinea.
Well you can add that to your bucket list. Looks like an amazing adventure
That’s amazing
August 07,2020 03:10a.m Friday morning here in the Philippines at the Davao area of Mindanao... Every place have a way for living...great idea everything is possible...
Love to visit this place once In a lifetime
All I can say: AWESOME!
I have been there and it is so cool inside they dig the new rooms when their kids grow up or if they have a baby etc.
Went to their pub and loved it absolutely.
I'm gasping for air already😂😂 whew humans are brave!
Same😅 this makes me anxious😂
Totally amazing...
It's sounds weird. But eager to visit atleast once
I'll try to visit @ least once.
aleast !
A couple of years ago I dreamed of digging in the earth until I was underground and it had a mall and everything......I really want to make that dream come true!
It's there, go visit
Been there twice. Very interesting place to visit.😊👍
Wow I'm shocked to see this incredible vdo n all I want to say is that it's just an amazing thing I've ever seen on utube. Really very nice n incredible👌👌👌😍😍👍☺
I like to live among this people. Love to be part of this underground town. ☺️
It doesn't mention the old mine shafts that whole cars can fall hundreds of feet into. Never to be seen again. Nor poisonous snakes nor the murders.
@@australianwoman9696 woah! Is it really true that all of those what u said happened in this underground town? 😱
The owner is really wonderful and helpful. Selection of cacti is amazing... From incredibly old and impressive ones that are worth a pretty penny, to little but still beautiful and interesting ones for extremely reasonable prices. I can't emphasize enough the variety and quality that he has, all in one hoop house. If you're looking for cacti, don't waste your time someplace else! The glass and art he has around is also really interesting, and seems to be a very reasonable price.

Very informative
Amazing that nobody has realized this is what researchers will be studying in a thousand years asking questions instead of seeing things simply as being environmentally logical
Just make a secure entrance and you've got yourself a very functional zombie apocalypse retreat.
Some places in Australia were like on the surface of Mars it is red dry and look lifeless.
Not lifeless, they were just drunk and passed out !
Gabriel Drift hardly lifeless, loads ppl live there. They have bbqs etc on surface at night when they choose
Immediately caught my attention
Wow.. amazing..great as a tourist site
That's kinda cool💃🏿👏🏿
This is nightmarish to me. I slept in a basement once in my life and that was underground enough for a lifetime.
lol hahahahah I thi k your a sook and believe me if you experience the summer heat out there you will want to camp underground....the tunnels arent little rabbit holes.ffs
i bet it smells like a musty old basement too
Count me in. Pushed it to the top of my list. Fascinated by Opals,and interesting people.
Definitely someplace i want to visit
It's an amazing place, don't judge till you've been there 😁💗
Were is the area at
Would love to see this. Unique!
Judith Vispi..good evening how are you doing?
I would live there, sounds like an awesome place.
Amazing 👍
Wow didn't know that! But I do remember Priscilla Queen of the Desert rolling through the town.
Love it. This always fascinated me. I'd live there if I could...
Amzaing to see such places....
Truly amazing
Awesome town! The background music of this video is great too, whom is it by? Quite melodious!
They should add this footage to the beginning of the movie "Time Machine" then it would make tons of sense.
Fax
Jam Slam..good evening how are you doing?
Absolutely amazing
Nice video👍
In the conditions of life in the desert I would say it would be a cool place Underground...
wow, i want to visit and have a pint in the pub
Andy Evans me too
what pint in the pub what u mean
Aevo Guitars over here we call it a schooner mate 😀🍺🍺
@@q.q9803 YGD there are are pubs (hotels) there where you can go have a beer/wine if you want
Thank you
Thanks for the video really beautiful the was
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Amen, Christian Sister. Praise JESUS Foreveremore.
Amen Praise God!!!

Amen
That is awesome! I’d love to visit there someday!!
Misleading info, the town looks completely normal above ground (very dusty though) many houses are above ground, most of the shops are above ground. Best place to eat is Tom and Mary’s, best garlic prawns around.
Jaysus, thanks! Almost dropped the hammer...i'll call LongJohns.
Thanks for the tip .
You're right, bin there in 2000.
Amazing brilliant architecture designs fabulous!💋💟😍
Hey Buddy
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
Hi
Very cool!
Fantastic 🙏🏻😎
The swimming pool has a large window through which light mysteriously flows inside!
Wonder how the smoke leaves the kitchen??!!!!
how about the sewers?
I was looking for this
The Australian's definition of Down Under.
Nicholas Sway - hardly. Tourists go there all the time. I'm an Aussie, never been there- the town has been there for many years. A friend if mine has been.
Fantastic.
Lets run away to this magnificent place. Woooow😮😎
How was that pool underground when it had natural light coming though the window ??
How do you know it was natural light. Probably just recessed lighting to simulate the real thing.
Or a light tube
WOW......I'M SPEECHLESS.
