An unusual sign in Coober Pedy, South Australia.

An opal mining town, this mural could actually have been necessary. I’ve written to the council to ask its creator and any history.
Today, it’s blasting into Becky’s ‘kinda’ squares.

But is asking oh-so-politely enough?

Brilliant! And yes intriguing as if they really had to remind people. Do you think they all stuffed explosives in their back pockets and forgot about it?!

I gotta tell you, it’s a wild west town. There are stories about people accusing others of jumping their claim, and looking at miners to see if they’ve had a breakthrough. I’m not sure if this wasn’t /isn’t possible!

Jumping claims seems to be a common theme in mining towns. Guess you needed to be tough to be there in the first place!
