Not trying to be a smart but it's
Coober Pedy not Cooper Pedy.
Sorry, might just be me but this is a common mistake that bugs me.
Cheers,

And it comes from the aboriginal "kupa-piti" meaning "whiteman's hole"

Thats interesting, seeing they use a "P" & it ended up Coober.

Well of course the aboriginal used no letters at all as their language is only phonetic and not written. The europeans translated what they heard, or thought they heard, into written words and often did not get it quite right.
The sounds P and B are very similar in sound and with the aboriginal guttural or throaty voicing the europeans often assigned the perhaps "wrong" letter.
So maybe "Cooper" would have been closer after all! LOL
