They're not really people either ... ever been to Coober Pedy?
(FYI, this is an opal mining town in the middle of the desert where most people live in mines that have been modified into houses. Much cooler. But filled with people on the run from something else, its all a no-second-name cash-economy, watch-your-back scene.)
Lots of old houses in Adelaide have cellars, presumably for wine and other storage before air conditioning.
