Back on the Moon Plain with Rowe, however, I see something. It’s shining bright white in the midday sun and is big enough to buy me a very nice yacht. I pick it up. There’s nobody within miles besides Rowe and me. “This is white opal, mate; I’m going to have to shoot you now,” I joke. Rowe is unfazed. He’s been in Coober Pedy long enough to know the difference between poverty and wealth.
