Old hand dug miner's dugout behind the lock-up, Coober Pedy
View of an old hand dug miner's dugout located behind the lock-up at Coober Pedy. The photographer comments on the old police lock-up, "In January 2013 I ventured into the South Australian desert to experience what it was like to live in such a hostile environment during an Australian summer. My fist stop was Coober Pedy, which is a frontier-mining town with a lot of hidden secrets. The old police lock-up was Coober Pedy's first above ground building consisting of four tin walls and a tin roof. I can't believe that anyone could have possibly existed here during the heat of summer, which regularly reaches 40 to 48 degrees. It is uncertain if the lock-up ever held criminals but it has been used as a temporary camping place, a bedroom, a morgue, and an isolation cell for a mental patient. Behind the lock-up is a dugout which at some stage was used as the residence for the local police officers.
