Idal (Justice), 6 Kamal (Perfection) 177 B.E. - Wednesday, August 5, 2020 30 day prompt. From your morning stop at the outback outpost of Manguri, you’ll venture into the weird and wonderful opal mining township of Coober Pedy, where more than half of the residents live underground. Here, you’ll enjoy a day of discovery, and a gourmet lunch in the most unique of locations: underground. Dinner is served back on the train where you can enjoy a nightcap as your journey continues. We'e going to get dirty today. But maybe we'll score an opal. https://journeybeyondrail.com.au/journeys/the-ghan-expedition/ https://www.gemsociety.org/article/opal-mining-coober-pedy/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pniXiSEoTwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrCpNlPggtA Let your imagination take you wherever. Did my Great Aunt Opal ever wear an opal necklace, Outback Australia, desert beauty where one of the most beautiful gems in the world is mined. Outback Australia, where towns have creative names, and some of the citizens live underground. Outback Australia and opals heat and beauty, a good place to live, a good place to visit, and a beautiful gem to wear. |
