Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia known as the 'opal capital of the world' due to the abundance of precious opals mined there. The town features below-ground dwellings called 'dugouts' to combat the scorching daytime heat. The name 'Coober Pedy' is believed to come from the Kokatha-Barngarla term kupa-piti, meaning 'whitefellas' hole'. In 1975, the local Aboriginal people adopted the name Umoona, which translates to 'long life'. As of the 2021 Australian census, Coober Pedy had a population of 1,566 residents.
