Spaceship

Spaceship at Coober Pedy
Visited on 5/6/2019

No, this spaceship has nothing to do with Australia's participation in space program, neither did it fall the sky. If you think you are at Woomera Rocket Park, you are wrong again.

The space ship is the set used for the external shots of the crashed transporter in the movie Pitch Black, filmed in Coober Pedy. It was bought by a local businessman soon after filming was completed.

Since then the spaceship is sitting outside the Opal Cave store, set in semi-Martian surrounding.

It is a pity that a pop-up caravan from the neighbour is parked so close to Spaceship and spoils a good snap shot.

Sorta saddens me to see it in the state it is in but it’s great it’s kept for everyone to see. Obviously it’s more cool to see it in person if you have seen the moves it has been filmed in. I personally wouldn’t of cared to see it if I hadn’t.

Great for a photo stop. Now there is a "Do Not Climb" sign that we couldn't step on it. Right in the middle of the town, right next to IGA supermarket and a Opal Store.

Great display right in the heart of town. So cool to see up close

The historic crashed spaceship from the movie Pitch Black is located in the center of town in Coober Pedy the Opal Capital of the world and film location for the movie.

Oh well, looks like taxi from Mars wating for passengers.

The filming of Pitch Black ended and they just... left it there? Future archeologists are going to loose their minds!

There are some reviews here that have inaccurate information stating that the spaceship is an art sculpture or a model from a Star Wars movie. It is actually the full-size spaceship stage used in the movie "Pitch Black" which filmed in Coober Pedy in 2000. It was bought by a local businessman after filming was completed and remains there as an attraction.

So cool you can see a movie prop in the main street. You can't do anything with it other than take a put but still cool

Cooperpedi is an absolute amazing town to go to and see the opals and see how everyone in that town is around the mining and around living in a place so isolated from the rest of Australia.
The space shuttle that someone has made or found or designed and sat that outside the best museum in Coober Pedy most probably has quirky behaviour it's one of those sculptures that you can't go into you can't walk on but you can definitely take photos and admire it's a model from a Star Wars series and it absolutely looks amazing from being next to it and being 300 m m away from it on a Noel. It's made out of aluminium steel and bits of aircon ducting and it looks amazing it's free to go to Anne admire and you can park the car right next to it you can go into the Opal Museum into reception area have a look around and see opals and see a few things of the mind you also can pay money and go further into the mind and have a look around I 100% recommend that you do
