Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Revised Edition. A very good clean copy. Opals of the Never Never is Robert Haill's guided journey into Coober Pedy, the remote South Australian opal‑mining town that has supplied much of the world's gemstone opal for decades. Haill writes as both storyteller and guide, walking the reader through the history of the field, the landscape, and the people who have spent their lives chasing colour in the desert. The book explains how Coober Pedy grew from a rough, makeshift camp into a community shaped by heat, isolation, and the lure of extraordinary wealth buried beneath the ground. Haill describes the mining methods, the geology, and the characters who made the town famous, while photographs and illustrations give a strong sense of place.
