Highlights
- Hub of Coober Pedy’s sizeable Croatian community, long successful on the opal fields
- The Croatian Welfare & Sports Club — food, drinks and community events
- One of the town’s cluster of nationality clubs
Croatians have been among Coober Pedy’s most successful opal miners for generations, and the Croatian Welfare & Sports Club is the community’s social home — one of the cluster of nationality clubs that give this tiny desert town its outsized cultural mix.
Like the town’s other clubs it’s community-run, so opening times and events vary. Check the club’s Facebook page for what’s on before you visit.
It’s part of Coober Pedy’s multicultural story — see also the Italian Club, the Greek community’s Friday BBQ and the underground Serbian Orthodox Church.
Details are kept light until we confirm the club’s current address and hours — spotted something to add? Let us know.
