Big Winch

You can't miss the Big Winch with its big dangling bucket, from which there are sweeping views over the Coober Pedy rooftops. A planned 'world-class refurbishment' of the visitor facility here, due to open in 2017, seems to have stalled in the desert dust. But the views alone are worth the visit.
