I watched some house show several years ago and thought these were awesome. I think there were temporarily trading houses with people.

“Instant hotels” was the show I saw that was here. Seems cool but apparently, according to the show, the flies there are just insane. Like clouds of them, they’re everywhere and on everything. Kinda killed my desire to check this weird place out.

Looks like. I was in Coober Pedy a few years ago and it was pretty much an ordinary town with ordinary buildings. There was a mining museum including an exhibit of how they used to furnish old mines and make houses out of them but I guess modern air conditioning has pretty much ended that.

Edit: ok the town was pretty fucking weird actually and very interesting. But it does appear to be 99% made out of ordinary buildings

I would 100% do something like this.

I don’t have enough money to buy the land to make it happen.

As novel and interesting as this place is, it really shouldn’t exist. It is just there for people trying to get rich mining opals and, by all accounts, is a really bleak and depressing place. Sorry for being a downer!

Inhabited Beauty

!inhabitedbeauty@lemmy.world

Create post

For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!
