∙ 12y agoAt Coober Pedy, (about half way between Alice Springs and Adelaide), where the opals come from, the climate is VERY hot, and living on the surface is very unpleasant. Average highs are around 36deg C, and peak highs about ten degrees more again.
The houses, known as dugouts, are excavated underground, and other buildings include an underground church. Underground the temperature is quite stable and comfortable.
Naturally there are no trees, but there is a Golf course, played with glowing balls at night to escape the heat. Golfers each carry a small piece of turf with them for teeing off. Annual rainfall half an inch or less.
