ANDAMOOKA AGAIN: So interesting, I had to add these photos

Andamooka is an amazing town.  Don't miss it.  The history and vista's are fascinating.  I don't think building codes really apply here. Imaginative housing structures.

Opal mining is still the main interest here.

Historic Cottage so well preserved.  Jack Absolom's (the artist) father lived in one of these.  How would you like to live in a cottage this size nowadays.  Compare with those whopping huge houses in Sydney.  Do we really need this much living space?

Love the rustic fencing

Our wildflowers are outstanding.

Building built out of beer bottles, lovely light when you stand inside.  How inventive is this?

You can see the huge moutains of dirt shifted in the pursuit of opals.  Look at the following photos to see more of the results of opal mining.

Kenny should have added this Dunny to his doco on the subject.  These were up the hill behind the historic cottages - wow!!

Driving from Roxby Downs to Andamooka - this is the first glimpse of Andamooka, it is quite startling.

Another view of these amazing cottages.
