Coober Pedy News

The District Council of Coober Pedy approved the use of the caption "Opal Capital of the World", following a request from Kookaburra Gas & Leisure Products, importers and wholesalers of camping and outdoor products. Mr Shane Goldner, representing Kookaburra, said they want to produce a new range of shirts with a logo of Australia above the left breast pocket with an arrow pointing to Coober Pedy and declaring it to be the 'Opal Capital of the World'.
The caption is a registered business name in South Australia and was obtained some years ago when setting the tourism website http://www.opalcapitaloftheworld.com.au.
