Interior of The Catacomb Church, underground Coober Pedy, Outback South Australia

            This church was developed from an old dugout and opened as an underground church in 1977, cut in the shape of a cross.

The church is Anglican, founded and supported by the Bush Church Aid Society. 

Furnished in a simple and natural way befitting the outback opal fields – cross, lectern and communion table fashioned from local mulga wood and an old miner’s winch.

The Fish symbol seen on the wall behind the communion table was a secret sign or password used by the early Christians when they hid in the catacombs during persecution in Rome.
