Van Velzen, MarianneCoober Pedy's opal fields were not for the faint-hearted: flies, dust, next to no water, and a hole in the ground for a house. But English-born Millie Berrington thrives in this harsh outback world. Casting aside life as a typist in London in the 1920s, Millie and her brother Victor were ready for adventure and it was outback South Australia that beckoned.
Enthralling and a pleasure to read, this is the fascinating story of one of Australia's first woman opal miners and the outback world in which she flourished.
