The Breakaways - Coober Pedy

Located around 33 kilometres north of the world famous Opal mining town of Coober Pedy is another very special location that is recognised as another of South Australia’s Outback gems, The Breakaways.

Millions of years ago this area was once covered by an inland sea that help formed Coober Pedy’s famous Opals.

We have visited this location many times, from misty rain, full cloud cover to full clear skies. Sunset if popular, but either way, if you are ever travelling the Stuart Highway, the detour to see this very special will reward you with something very unique.
