The Incredible Journey presents: Opals - Fire in the Desert
Coober Pedy is also known as the Opal Capital of the World. Most of the world’s opals come from this tiny town which is located 845kms north of Adelaide and 685 kms south of Alice Springs along the Stuart Highway, in the harsh Outback. Coober Pedy is not only famous for opals, but also for its unique accommodation, and legendary stories of courage and endurance. This program tells the story of opal mining in the Outback and one man, “Iron Man” Jim Shaw, who in 1920 pushed a loaded wheelbarrow across the desert in the height of summer from Tarcoola to the opal fields and became a legend of the Outback.
