What travelers say:

Cooper Petty is not a scenic spot, but it has Australia's most unique "dungeon". Cooper Petty discovered Aussie treasure in 1915 and now produces 95% of Australia's Aussie treasures. Miners gathered here quickly discovered that living in a cool underground can escape the heat of summer. Visitors can also get this experience by choosing a variety of accommodation options, some of which offer underground rooms. The town has no planes to reach, and the Stuart Desert Highway, baked by heatwaves all year round, is the only way to visit the town, and the nearest city is more than 500 kilometers away, which is also the only way to reach the Ululu Rocks in the heart of the Australian desert. So don't be surprised if there are tourists here, everyone will pass by. This is also the only underground city in Australia, one of the driest places in Australia, originally a barren place where birds are too lazy to fall. In 1915, someone accidentally discovered the opal mineral here, and since then changed the fate of the wasteland. The opal is commonly known as Aussie, mainly used for various accessories, ordinary opal is not worth money, but the best is worth a lot. Luckily, Cooper Petty's Opal is not only the best in the best, but also the huge amount of storage. The news went on and it naturally attracted Taobao people from all over the world.
