Some of the interesting attractions in Coober Pedy include the mines, the graveyard and the churches. The first tree ever seen in the town was welded together from scrap iron. The golf course is completely free of grass and golfers take a small piece of "turf" around to use for teeing off.
It is a popular tourist destination and the countryside around Coober Pedy has featured as a backdrop to some movies including Mad Max Beyond The Thunderdome[?] and Priscilla Queen of the Desert[?].
