38.When you walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy,you may be surprised by what you can see.It's just barren land there! So why even call it a town?There are more than 4 ,000 people of 48 nationalities.However,all of the people live underground ! Coober Pedy was established in 1915,following the discovery of opals (貓眼石) .The town is sometimes called "the opal capital of the world",because it is the largest opal mining area in the world. Because of the desert climate,people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy,living above it was not.The solution was to move underground,by changing old mines into homes and establishing the world's first and most likely,only underground town. As years have gone by,the homes have become bigger.There are now also some hotels for tourists,They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town.Coober Pedy is probably best known for is unique style of underground living.
