1,700 People Live In An Underground Village In The Desert

Nearly 1,700 People Live Underground In The Australian Desert, But Why? Would you sleep underground in the middle of this desert? This is what nearly 1,700 people do every night. In the Australian desert—where temperatures reach almost 120°F (50°C) during the day and plummet to freezing cold levels at night—there are 1,762 people who live completely underground. But why?

I wouldn't want to live there permanently. I need a place to fish. Lol

Most of these places are gold and opal mining towns, they tunnel looking for their respective fortunes and you turn these tunnels into homes, , they are very harsh environments , comparable to death valley, The temperature underground doesn't fluctuate as much from one season to the next,,
