Stars On Mars Filming Locations Are Out Of This World

Stars on Mars was filmed in Coober Pedy in northern South Australia. Stars on Mars filming locations resemble the Red Planet very closely.

Coober Pedy is famous for its below-ground habitat called "dugouts", built in a manner due to the burning daytime heat.

The idea of dugouts is believed to be introduced by the soldiers during the First World War.

The natives of the town swiftly understood the benefit of living underground to escape the heat of the summer and winter's cool desert nights. 

The temperature of dugouts is not affected by any harsh climate and is maintained at a suitable temperature from 19 degrees to 25 degrees throughout the year.

The name "Coober Pedy" is likely to originate from the Aboriginal term 'kupa-piti', meaning 'whitefellas' hole.

However, in 1975 a new name was adopted by the local Aboriginal people of the town, namely 'Umoona', defined as "long life".

The great hospitality of the Federal Government’s Location Incentive, along with the South Australian Film Corporation, motivated the filming in this place.

Similarly, the location is a great match with the red planet.

The surrounding of this town is generally expressed as being like the moon, with its terrain dotted with shafts and mullock heaps from opal mining activities.

Coober Pedy Has A Lot To Offer

The town has become a famous stopover point and tourism destination. The town began to get popular when the sealing of the Stuart Highway was completed.

The town has every facility that a large town would probably have to offer, inclusive of a variety of Opal shops. Some places of attraction are mines, the graveyard, and underground churches.

There are also motels offering underground facilities with a few rooms or the entire motel underground. The Umoona Opal Mine and Museum is a popular attraction.

The town itself is a location for several films, and its scenery has lured many movie producers.

Movies that were filmed in this beautiful town in Australia are Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Mortal Kombat, and The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.

According to the District Council of Coober Pedy, the population is approximately 2,500.

It is an ethnically diverse community with more than 45 nationalities living harmoniously.
