Andamooka suburb profile
Andamooka is a remote outback township in South Australia's far north, built around an opal mining tradition and the stark, wide-open character of surrounding gibber plains and salt lakes. The town has a hands-on, self-reliant feel and is home to long-term mining families, retirees and people drawn to a quieter pace and the chance to fossick. Housing is low-density and modest, with mining-era cottages and owner-built homes on larger blocks. Local life centres on a small service strip and community facilities, and the town is reached by the regional road network linking it to nearby mining centres such as Roxby Downs and Olympic Dam.
