The population is only 100 australia's most isolated town here

According to the Australian network, there is a little-known town in the western part of New Australia, where the population is only 100 people, and the nearest supermarket has to drive 300 kilometers. Despite its desolate desert location, people here love the quiet and peaceful nature of the town. This isolated, but beloved local town is White Cliffs.

According to reports, because "White Rock" is located in a desert area, people who live here usually live underground to avoid the hot temperature and harsh sunlight. According to locals, the people who live here all have their own stories, some of them are former veterans who participated in the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan, some are retired police officers, and of course, the larger number are some miners who mine Australia's OPA, they all hope to make a fortune by mining this beautiful gemstone.

White Rock is 1,000 kilometres from Sydney and even the nearest supermarket is 300 kilometres away. Because of its desert location, summer temperatures here can be nearly 50 degrees Celsius, making it lifeless on the surface. But underground, there are no holes in it.

Since many miners used to come here to mine Opal, nearly 50,000 holes of all sizes were drilled here, so from the surface, it looks like the moon. In order to live more comfortably and cooler here, local residents have used these caves to move their homes underground, saying that although the natural environment here is not good, they do not want to move to other areas.

Harris, whose hometown is in Melbourne, has lived here for 30 years, her underground home is like an art gallery, and she also has a lot of parrots; Hayden Drenikow, a miner who has been digging Opal in "White Rock" for 40 years, says he enjoys the lifestyle here.

Paul was badly injured while fighting in Afghanistan, and when he returned to Australia he chose to live in the desert. "I live in a motorhome with my dog, and when it's too hot in the summer, we go out for a few months," Paul said, "and I passed by White Rock when I was driving across Australia, and people here told me there were some veterans who had fought in Vietnam, so I decided to move in too." Although it is challenging to live here, the community here is nice and there is the quiet and peaceful I need. ”

According to the report, "White Rock" only has one bar, every year the "Sting shrimp race" will be held here, before the competition people will write the number on the shrimp, and then these shrimp will be circled in a circle, the first shrimp to reach the end of the shrimp is the winner, local residents can bet on these shrimp before the race, the bet will be used for charitable organizations, this year they raised 1200 Australian dollars, and the shrimp participating in the competition will be auctioned at the end.
