About Andamooka
Andamooka is a remote opal-mining town approximately 600 kilometres (370 mi) north of Adelaide in the Far North of South Australia on the traditional lands of the Kokatha people. Opal was discovered in 1930, leading to the development of the Andamooka Opal Field, one of Australia's historic opal-producing regions. The town is administered by the Outback Communities Authority rather than by local government area, and lies within the state electoral district of Giles and the federal Division of Grey.
