Entrance to The Catacomb Church, Coober Pedy, 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.
