Day 4-Coober Pedy

Today was a good day! Today we went a lot of places. We went to two different church's they were both underground the name of the first one was Catacomb church. The name of the second one was Serbian church. After looking at the church's we made our way to the next thing that took our eyes this was noodling. Noodling isn't what you might think it is, noodling is when you search through big big piles of dirt and trying to find opal, opal is a crystal that comes through as many different colours but may look like one color. So during our finds we thought we may have found some (opals) so after we thought we had found some we took them to one of the opal shops. The man at the opal shop we had meet before so we thought yeah let's go back to him. But as we pulled up there were four aboriginals sitting in the car park. As we parked the car they started to walk toward the car. As they were about to open the car well intact as they were walking to the car my daughter Michelle started to yell "mum don't open the door, stay here don't get out!" So I started to start the car thinking now we will have to find somewhere else to go. So as we drove off they started yelling things at us, we drove to the next opal shop were the guy was very very nice! He checked over our opals for us to see if they are good and he said only two parts were opal. That was a bit disappointing but oh well. The man pulled out a opal to show us and as he did he gave it to Michelle to keep. I asked him if he could make it into a necklace for us so he did, we payed for it and he gave it to us! So despite all our troubles we ended up with a good thing then came home to have tea and shower. Tomorrow we are back on the road to airs rock! :)
