Andamooka is a small mining town approximately 600km north of Adelaide in the South Australian outback. Opal was discovered in the region in the late 1920s, & the town developed out of the scattered miners’ camps which established in the area. Andamooka is also the name of a brand new 50ft X-Yacht sailing out of Pittwater. Why is this yacht called Andamooka? That’s a very good question you ask. The answer being long & complicated, the explanation is best left to the boats new owner.
