Unique Church No1 - OUTBACK AUSTRALIA

This unique SERBIAN church is in the desert Outback town of Coober Pedy in South Australia. Temperatures reach beyond 40 degrees Celsius.

For that reason the coolest place is beneath the ground. 

This beautiful church was created for worship by miners who
came to work and live in the town.

Inside there's a church hall, parish house and even a school. 

The stained glass internal windows are lit up using electric lights to bring their glorious effect.

Even while searching for opals and wealth, God is not forgotten

                                     
                                            One kind of Opal

The Outback town view of Coober Pedy

I love the Outback - so I share about it in my books.

Digging for Opals and going bush.

How people desire to dig for precious stones, I can't imagine.
I have never been one to like a lot of jewely.
I wear a wedding ring and earings, and thats mostly all.
Going through this opal town, shows how earnest people can be to try and make a fortune. 

We passed through miles and miles of lumps of dirt piled high, in search of precious stones.

Better watch your step.

Many of the inhabitants of this area live underground because of the summer heat and the night time winter cold.

  Bedroom...

And the church is underground also.

Humans are all different. I would not be happy living under the ground.
But is was very interesting to see.

We did stay at a huge Outback Cattle Station, that is the Australian name for a ranch.
Look at the size of this place. One Million,twenty eight thousand, nine hundred and sixty acres...

 The Toilet Block.

The eating area. No a-la-cart here...just plain old bush tucker.

Ray and Gus outside the sleeping quarters.. And an exorbitant $175. a night in the middle of no where, you need a place to stay.

"In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind."

 (Job 12:10)
