Travelling isn't much of a thing right now...The virus and all...But rather sit around and mope we decided to be tourists in our own town today and headed off to a small town called Moonta, otherwise known as Australia's Little Cornwall!
Moonta lies within a Council area called the Copper Coast, about 165 kilometres from the Capital City of Adelaide where I live. The area was notable for it's mining of copper and in the middle 1800's was actually the third largest copper producer in the world!
A few rocks I collected whilst wandering about showing their green hue, typical of copper deposits.
Copper in Moonta was first discovered by a young shepherd boy who saw a few copper deposits sitting on a wombat burrow, obviously dug up by the industrious wombat. He reported it and pretty quickly the mining boom started.
Thousands of Cornish miners arrived, their families in tow, all eager for a new life away from the depression gripping their industry in Cornwall; The rest is history...Little Cornwall began, right here in South Australia.
As it turns out, my ancestry traces back to Cornwall, UK and some of my ancestors also made the long journey to Australia back in the mid 1800's to work in the mines and begin life anew...So, going to Moonta has a special meaning to me.
The sea-bed is on a very shallow gradient around Moonta so when the tide is out it exposes a lot of the sea floor. This is demonstrated in the images above and below. It's a shame the tide was out though because when the water is up it gives off the most vibrant green colour, oddly much like the copper rocks in the main image. It makes sense though right?
It was a little windy out here exposed to the sea breeze but we walked up and back on the jetty and took it all in.
Moonta sits right on the coast and can be a sleepy little town at times although it's a popular spot in school holidays with very nice swimming beaches, good fishing and a relaxed, laid-back. The town itself is quaint, a single main street surrounded by a grid of residential streets with a nice park situated at one end.
On arrival one is greeted with this sign reminding people of the town's mining and Cornish heritage. Heading into the main street reveals many cafe's, antique and arts and craft stores, a few of which we had a look inside of.
We found one that had all sorts of old things in there for sale which was really cool: Tools and implements, gas station signage, old bottles, books, old clothing, jewellery, records...Just about anything you could think of. Of course Faith found something more her style, pictured below, and she browsed around a bit before we headed off to the mines.
The Moonta mines are a couple kilometres out of town; They're mostly ruins of course but wandering around one gets a sense of the extent of the work required to construct and operate the mines which cover a very massive area. It must have been backbreaking and tiring work making it all work and with shafts down to over 300m deep...A lot of clever engineering went into it too. The Cornish miners were the best in the business at the time.
Below you can see Faith standing in front of an engine house that would have powered the mining machinery, conveyors and other bits and pieces, In this area there were also three big boilers in this area to create steam to power everything.
The next couple images are of a chimney, what remains of one, that worked in conjunction with the boilers. You can see the base of it first and the second image is taken from inside it. The rest of the chimney stack has been removed for safety reasons as it wasn't in good shape.
Chimney stack base above. This was about 18 to 20 feet high or so.
Taken inside the chimney base looking up. The Cornishmen knew what they were doing when it came to mining and building mine sites. The workmanship is amazing.
Below is another engine house, also ruined of course. Here you can see the chimney still stands though. Again, the craftsmanship is precise and of a very high standard. Driving around Cornwall in the UK one will see these things all over the place.
Thousands of people were required to work mines like this and there were men and boys doing all sorts of things from underground operations, stone masonry, ore crushing, sorting, grading, construction, management, tending horses, pushing, pulling, lifting, digging, hauling...It was a massive operation, was very dangerous work and would have taken its toll on the workers. Come the end of they day they had a few kilometres or more to walk home, some meagre foods to eat and a chair to sit on if they were lucky. Tough folk the Cornish, and I'm pleased to have this solid work ethic and toughness in my own make up...Thanks ancestors.
Below is a shot I like taken at Hancock's Tailing Heap, looking up at it but shot down low - I just like the contrast of colours. This is where they would pump acidified seawater over the Tailing heap for the leaching phase of the precipitation process (also called cementation) which would draw out additional copper...Every ounce of it was valuable. Sulfuric acid was used in this process, again, very dangerous work.
This Tailings heap was several hundred metres long and about 50 metres wide in a rough 'L' shape and about 10-12 metres in height. I climbed it so see what I could see...Tailings is what I saw.
Below you can see some of the floor area in what was a sorting room called the ore floor. The pickey boys, some only 12 years old, would sort the ore and direct it to the appropriate place...The very copper-rich ore would go directly to the smelter, the not so rich to the crusher for concentrating, and then the smelter. The non-ore-bearing rock would go to the attle heap. These boys would work long hours with little shelter from the elements; Very hot in summer and cold and wet in winter.
Here below you can see green rocks...That's copper, and in the back of shot some destroyed buildings which was part of the mine-works.
There's a really cool heritage centre near the mines which has a museum and a nice little train ride that goes around the mine site so visitors can see it all quite easily. We chose to make our own way though.
The museum is run by the National Trust and manned by volunteers. It costs $8 for adults to enter without NT membership and it's worth a look. It explains the whole mine, the history and tells the story of the man and their families that came from Cornwall to work it. The train ride is $12 per adult.
We stopped for lunch here and sat around talking about the history of the place, it's rise and fall, and about my ancestors who worked this mine. There's a book written about my ancestors in particular actually, a chronicle as such of the Cornish arm of the family...I have it and am very proud of all of them. They overcame terrible hardship, backbreaking work, illness, death of their infants, lack of money and life in a harsh land...But they lived and loved...And that's why I'm here today.
This last image is included as I like it, and I captured a bird flying over too, at the right side. This is the chimney pictured above next to the engine house. I don't know...I just kind of like this shot. This chimney stands as a monument to those who worked this mine...I think it's very cool it stands to this day.
We had a great day today...Relaxing and informative. We drove a total of 400 kilometres (250 miles) today, listened to some tunes and talked. The weather was very nice, around 25 degrees so...A perfect Sunday really. We enjoyed meandering around, reading plaques and information boards and getting a feel for what it might have been like for my ancestors and their compatriots. It was just a nice day cruising the Copper Coast and being tourists in our own town...So to speak.
Thanks for coming by.

I love every one of these shots, looks like my sort of place, but it's a bit far from Sydney 😎
Oh yeah, it's not a simple day trip from the big smoke...It's a nice little spot though, worth a look if you're here. That's the thing with Australia, it's so vast and there's so many things and places people will never get to see because there's always something else to see.
I've been keen on doing a tour in my 4x4 based around silo and water tank art...I don't know how long I'd need though...A long time feels about right. https://www.australiansiloarttrail.com/
I see you're fairly new here. Let me know if you need any help...It can be a bit difficult to get one's head around. I'm always happy to answer questions as best I can. :)
There is always so much to see especially if you’re near the coast and like swimming!
We saw some silo, water tower and mural towns on our last time to Lightning Ridge. It’s a great way to make a feature out of something.
Thanks for the offer, there is a lot to learn

En este momento, que nos amenaza ese virus, es necesario estar prevenido, cuidarse bastante, son muy bonitos las fotos que tomaste, hoy domingo disfrute de tu comentario, además conocí otros lugares sin salir de Venezuela, feliz domingo, gracias
Lo comparto en mi cuenta.
There seems little point in sitting around dejected about our inability to travel...It was a nice day so we headed off to Moonta and made the most of it. That's how we roll really, design and create our ideal life, rather than live it by default.
Thank you for reading and your comment. I hope you have a nice day.
I'm not a fan of Twitter to be honest and I don't have an account although by putting it on your account maybe someone might get some enjoyment from my post.
Tienes toda la razón, yo aplico todos los días el agradecimiento y vivir este momento que estamos sanos, estamos a la orden desde Venezuela.
What an interesting place of early Australian history, thanks for sharing it with us.
Yep, pretty cool...Those miners left Cornwall knowing they would never be able to pay their way back. The passage here was subsidised as they were required. They gave everything they had, carving rock from the earth and lives in the harshness of Australia. Pretty tenacious little buggers they were.
Thanks for taking a look and commenting. I hope you had a good Sunday too!
Very industrius people and yes I have had a good Sunday thanks.
Loved those old mine works. So your could get right inside the big chimneys, or at least one?
Didn't matter that the tide was out, it still looked like and amazing little bit of coast!
Thanks mate. Yeah, we. Like get right inside the buildings that were standing. No climbing in them though, just ground level. I was able to crawl into the broken one that is pictured, the base, which is where I grabbed that inside shot with my phone. It's a cool spot...I wish the tide was in but I don't have that power at my control. I
f only I was one of the X-Men. I'd be called Tidal, the power to control the tide at Moonta! 😁
Controlling the tide at Moonta!! More there's a super power!!
Sky blue costume with fins :0)
There is an old train factory near me with a chimney like that and I wish I could get in for a similar shot. The one you got is amaze-balls!
Lol...A really tight-fitting lycra suit yes. I'd look so fecking good.
I'm sure someone else could do a doubly amaze-balls photo inside that chimney, but they were't there...I was...So, I'll take the accolade! :)
Take the accolade, take it in all your blue fish-scale-suited superhero glory!!!
Lol...You make it sound so good now I really want that suit. I wonder if my mother in-law could whip me up one on her sewing machine.
I bet she could, in fact I bet she should!!
When I got my new wetsuit recently I felt like a superhero when I tried it on, kept poncing about everywhere striking poses. It was sad and yet I fecking loved it
Wow. Looks very cool! I'd have to go a LONG ways to find a beach that lightly used. North of San Francisco certainly if I'm staying in the US. The Baja in Mexico would be closer...
I love that you have a heritage there. Makes it special. Here in AZ (the copper state) our mining is all pit work and has been for a long time. Though there are something over 5000 abandoned shafts in the state. The state is actively closing mine shafts but still somebody falls and be's dead a couple times a year.
I'm fascinated by the old chimneys too. They just amaze me.
Thanks mate.
Yeah, Australia has some of the best coastline and beaches one could find...When the tide is in at Moonta it's stunning.
We saw a shaft of 309m today, still open, just fenced...A long way down. I think they try to cave them in of course. Check out a place called Coober Pedy here in South Australia. It's where opal are found. Lot's of holes, probably a few dead bodies in there too. https://www.cooberpedy.com/
We have little shafts all over. A lot of Gold and a little silver taken out of the ground around here. I've been in several of them...
There's a large abandoned mine about 20 miles from me, but it's on the bombing range so you have to have a permit from the Marines to go there. But it's pretty cool. Was active for about 50 years...
That Cooberpedy looks like my kind of place. Before I clicked I thought it might be like the old Turquoise pits around here, but that is way more organized.
I may or may not have hygraded some Idaho Opal in the Bob Marshall wild area. It may or may not have been AFTER the area was declared wild and therefore illegal to take anything out.
You think I'd take a 10 mile hike for my health?
Lol...Opal poacher...If you had liberated some of course...If.
Yep. Liberated. Sounds a lot better than stole, doesn't it?
I went with a friend that'd been there before the wilderness area. I may or may not have bought a motorcycle with the proceeds of that week. Besides having a great time...
Seems like that opal went to a good use. ✅
It did indeed.
Love the stones you collected! I use to get some every time I get into the mountains too, just like I can keep a piece of the mountains closer to my heat. I actually recently started buying all kind of genuine gems from the stores to make myself a little collection. So far I got obsidian, pink quartz and layers of gold :)
There's a few lying around here and there but you have to look for them. I'll send them to you if you want them; In the mail.
Really? I'd love to! ❤️
You can hit me up on Discord with an address if you like, it doesn't matter whose it is, as long as you will receive the goods. galenkp#9209
I would love to see these sights and feel the history for my self but through Hive and the crocodile dundee movies are a close second.
Do you research the history of these places? Or is there someone who shares the history of the places?
I normally research for myself as I enjoy the process of learning and discovery. With this stuff though, I've heard the stories all my life as my family ancestry harks from there.
When we travel we spend time learning the history of where we will go, research it. We enjoy that as it sort of extends the holiday through that research.
What a piece of history, so sad when elements have started to claim back the land.
Yes our ancestry made moves to foreign lands due to reasons that drove them further afield to find employment, make a future too many forget today or shovel under the carpet and pretend they had it good.
Most enjoyable read learning more about Australia.
@tipu curate
Thanks for reading Joan, I appreciate it. History fascinates me and it's cool when that history is partly my own. 🙂
History is something I have always enjoyed and followed, on my Mom's side of the family coming to South Africa with 1820 settlers from UK, Dad's side his father arrived from Britain for Boer War. Life was not easy nor handed to them on a platter like some would like to believe.
My uncle mined in Crown mines (gold) on the Witwatersrand. When we visited Johannesburg I managed to get my sons to experience first hand what it was like by taking them down on a tour. Miners underground, hard working conditions, many contracted ailments leading to death at much younger ages.
For many it was a one way trip, leaving family and friends behind with the hope of a better future, they most definitely deserve to be remembered.
Kind of makes a person proud to know how hard their ancestors had to work to make a life. It does for me anyway.
If only Cornwall was as sunny, I'd be making my way there more often.
Looks like a Sunday well spent to me, I do like checking out older structures and getting a feel for how things were when the sites were active.
Oh yeah, I reckon there's a pile of others who would love to see some Aussie-style weather in Cornwall.
We had a good day immersed in history, and the legit picnic I packed. 🙂
Hey that shot of the copper just exposed and coming out of the ground is pretty neat. I would have been fascinated by this if i were there. I'm a sciency kinda dork.
Although at heart i am a beach lover and i envy the walk you guys had on that beach. Beautiful colours to the water. And the sand looks soft too.
Now i need to go study up on cornish history and culture. In your opinion what's the most unique thing that stands out to you about the cornish culture or community.
They're hard working, gritty people I think, somewhat stubborn. They were good-natured though and like to have fun. The ones that came here anyway. They were escaping a terrible depression back in Cornwall so I think when they came here they sort of let their hair down so to speak. I'm not so sure on their traditions, but here, they liked to bake and cook, so that would feature prominently in their culture I think. Fun loving and hard working explains them well I think.
Thanks for your kind words on my image...We had a really great time today, was a long day, but enjoyable.
Im happy you guys had a good time. Faith looked to be enjoying the trip from the photo.
We had a great day, a long one, but fun. The weather played along which was nice. Faith had a nice time and a nice snooze in the car on the way home too...I like to see her just relax like that as she always has so much on her mind. A good day all round.
This looks like a pretty lovely place to visit. Other than the reddish sand, and the copper deposits everywhere, that seaside view is quite as picturesque as the real Cornwall in the British Isles. I love how you could walk around and find those greenish, copper-infused rocks. Almost reminds me of gemstones 💚
There's a kind of rugged beauty in the arid lands in from the coast I think...It's quintessentially Australian to have diversity and contrast of this nature...Ruggedly beautiful is how its described sometimes. Cornwall is a lot different to Australia, you may remember my post about Tintagel a week or so ago...But yes you're right the Australian coast lines can be just as picturesque I think. It's a beautiful and diverse country here and one I feel very fortunate to live in.
"Ruggedly beautiful" might sound like an oxymoron, but seeing these photos, its the best way to describe the scenery. Tintagel is a lot more green, in sharp contrast to the reddishness of Little Cornwall. Nonetheless, it's no less pretty. One of my mates went to the Gold Coast a while back, and had similarly wonderful stories to share :-D
Ah yes, the Gold Coast. I've been there a few times. It's too touristy for my liking although there was a few things I wanted to do there. It's worth a look at least once.
It certainly looks like the beach-goers paradise, especially if one likes to surf. I think I'd prefer to stay away from all the tourists running about, and find hidden gems like this. Still, both have wonderful experiences waiting to happen.
I think a balance is required. Some of the best places draw many tourists and you'd not want to miss them, and yet there's so much to see that many tourists ignore through time constraints or inability to get there. This is why I have 4x4's. I could take you to some amazing places though, amazing. You'd love it here...I'm pretty sure you'd love everything about it and would fit in well too as you have a personality, sense of humour and are thick-skinned...Don't mind having a laugh at yourself.
Haha, I think I'm learning quite a lot about being an Australian from your chatter. Maybe I'll fit in well there after all, eh? Not sure about the insects you've got roaming around though. I might have to resort to carrying a gun with me at all times to start blasting spiders as I go along 😬
What great way to spent the day together a bit of great history seen and some great landscapes and seascapes you captured , i enjoyed looking at every photo of my home country thanks for sharing awesome stuff 👍
You're Australian? Cool.
Yep, we had a really nice day yesterday. It was a nice spot and one I hadn't been to for a long time so was enjoyable to go back and wander about. I saw a few things I hadn't previously seen and gained a little more understanding which, for a history nut like me, means a lot.
Thanks for commenting. :)
Yep another Aussie living abroad on and off , i am originally from Sydney , Australia and not missing Sydney at all...haha 🙂
I use to work in Adelaide years ago out side of Whyalla a place called Iron Knob i was doing diesel mechanic work on them huge V16 motor trucks that carried them tons of iron ore out of the open cut mines great experience great times in Iron Knob 👍
Ah yeah, cool!
I've been to Iron Knob. My wife's uncle used to work there, in mining. He was ex-Roxby Downs, in fact him and his wife went to Roxby when the road there was still dirt! He also worked at Peculiar Knob and now works in Whyalla itself. I spend a bit of time around Whyalla because Faith's uncle and Aunt live there, a place to the west called Cowleds Landing. They live off-grid. It's cool.
I'm with you, I wouldn't miss Sydney either. My sister lives there and it's ok for a short visit, otherwise it doesn't suit me at all.
Good to meet a fellow Aussie, and one that knows where Iron Knob is...Double bonus!
I did about two years in Iron Knob and to tell you the truth didn't leave the town only for one time when we drove into Whyalla to go and see a Jimmy Barns concert and that was awesome so i didn't really get to see much of South Australia i was on a mission of making and saving money to go back to Sydney to start my own mechanical business which i did after doing another 2 years of underground mining in Tasmania a for EZ Roseberry mining company also doing diesel mechanic but underground on the smaller trucks and machinery that was a real buzz working underground.
Your own mechanical workshop seems like a good reason to have the focus required to do what you did. I'm glad it worked out.
Now you're overseas. Your own business sill, or did something else take you there?
Yep run my own mechanical shop for 20 years then turned it over to my son and i came to join a friend who was doing real estate in Thailand and i started doing mainly the photography work for him and now i am doing sales and rentals with him i had , had enough of been a grease monkey as they say 😅
Honestly, traveling is much easier nowadays man! Everyone is home and quietly taking advantage from it is not a bad idea! :D
Yes, less people around suits me fine! :)
No doubt about that! :D <3
Is the chimney open at night? I think that would be a cool place to get a night sky shot up a tube. A shot in the early evening with enough light to see the bricks like your shot showed, then a evening one with just the circle of stars and then the two combined, I think would make a nice picture, kind of like the straight up shots of the redwood trees people take in California.
Yeah, these areas are open at night, there's no lockable gates or anything. one just slips through a gap in the fence designed to keep kangaroos out. That wold be a cool shot for sure! I like those time release shots of the stars moving that photographers create on editing software too, that would look good!

Some say copper is one of the cheapest metals on the planet. Personally I love copper, its so beautiful in fact, one copper round is worth about $2 or so, compared to $26 for silver.
I think maybe it's not as well regarded as it was a couple hundred years ago..It was certainly a product that helped here back then though, providing a lot or revenue and helping to build infrastructure in the colony in the mid 1800's as the colony was struggling at the time.

Sunday... @galenkp was a KrazzyTrukker.
250 miles. Not to shabby ya road warriors. Sounds like a nice getaway. Enjoying a Sunday eve here. Some yard work this morning. And a little more to come on mondays holiday off.
You deserve a moment to relax, you work hard enough for it.
Yeah, we had a decent drive yesterday. I really wanted to head to a place called Wirrabara to see the https://www.australiansiloarttrail.com/wirrabara but we'll do that when we're up that way for something else so we can make the trip more viable. It's about 250km so would be a 312 mi round trip or so...A bit much to stand in front of some silos for ten minutes.
I'm heading up that way (Spear Creek, near Port Augusta) for a shooting event in October so will probably head over to Wirrabara at that point.
Anyway, have a good one mate. Rest up.
It's funny how we don't ever think to visit the places closest to us and always think we must go far away to somewhere cool. When we were back in the UK my wife came home with lots of pamphlets advertising things in the Leicestershire area.I though there ain't nothing to see here. So I said hey you decide where you want to go and we will go. She disappeared with the leaflets into the bedroom and emerged an hour later saying " I want to go on the steam trains" I couldn't stop laughing and said only I could marry a Jamaican girl that wants to go on steam trains. So off we went and to my absolute delight it was fantastic. They even served beer with breakfast on one of the trains. Awesome. All stations in period setting WW2 style. I Loved this piece and the history from the old Cornish miners and also the connection you have to that. Great photos aswell.
It's the same here with many people; They don't seem to know what's in their back yard taking their tourist dollars overseas. We have travelled around here a lot and will do so in the next couple years a lot more with the travel restrictions. It helps to love camping...Means we can hook up the camper trailer and take off at short notice. We went on a steam train in Swanage when in the UK. Was cool.
went to Swanage as a kid. I remember I was car sick and threw up all over myself. When we got there my grandad said " I'll take our young lad for a walk down sea front" this meant he was going to the bookies and I shot my nana a glance and said but grandad I'm in my underpants." He said " nobody will care its the seaside" so as I knew would happen I was left outside the bookies in my y fronts while grandad bet on the horses" he must have won as I got an ice cream on the way back. I must have been 4 years old maybe 5
Haha, good story...Grandad's huh? I remember throwing up on myself too, I never got to go to the bookies though.
We'd been to Corfe Castle and ended up taking the train from there to Swanage for lunch and a like around. Nice little spot I recall we had some nice fish and chips there before heading back to the car.
Nice part of the world.
i didn't get to go in the bookies kids not allowed. Like a y fronted sentry at the entrance. Ahhh the 70's
Haha, yeah I know. Same here...But Y-fronted door-kid...Perfectly legit. 😁
You guys crackin' on up there? How's stuff going?
good day today, 4 divers on the boat 2 dives. 2 new rescue diver students, Divemaster candidate and a new open water student. So not too bad. Tomorrow will be only the students and hopefully wednesday some diving and students. More than i thought we'd have
Is the book a family history one made my one if your family or did you have illustrious ancestors? 🙃
And did you get your pasties?
Hey Ry, the book is a history of the area based around my ancestors and their families. It was written by one of the family members, an author, who wanted to document it. I never met the writer. It's an interesting book and considering it mentions my direct relatives is kind of cool. The copy I have was given to my grandfather, signed by the author.
My ancestors weren't illustrious, just normal hard working folk, like me.
We grabbed some Cornish pasties to bring home. Dinner tonight actually. 🙂
The second picture is so beautiful and the one from inside of the chimney... Just mindboggling what ancestors managed to accomplish. I am so sure that we wouldn't had enjoyed so many things today if it werent't for the people from the past making all of the sacrifices.
!ENGAGE 20
I know how hard life was back then through studying it and I know most now would not be able to cope; The tenacity people showed in the old days speaks highly of them.
I also like think, however, that they had good times, few as they might have been. Times in which they enjoyed relaxation with their families, celebrations and triumphs. Life was simple but I think simple pleasures were what they valued.
I feel connected to my ancestors, not just through the lineage, but because I have visited where they lived here and in the UK and have taken the time to research their lives and my family tree. It is a nice feeling to know the name of my ancestors who lived in the 1400's.
We had a good day in Sunday, relaxing together and exploring. I also pack a pretty great picnic you know...And it was nice to sit about, enjoy some nice foods and chat.
Knowing the past, the history, is a great lesson that should teach us humility and gratitude. Just as you said, few would have the tenacity they did. I will always have respect for hard working people, devoted to a cause.
That's one aspect yes. I enjoy the story though, musing over what their lives might have been like, who they were, rather than trying to draw some type of learning experience from it all the time. Maybe I'm just a simple-thinking man, but I like to think about their lives. Sure, there's lessons too, but sometimes life should be lived a little rather than always seeking something. I believe that's where people go wrong a lot. They seek something ahead of them rather than living what's around them.
But what do I know I guess.
I agree that life should be lived. Many miss the opportunity of today thinking of tomorrow or of yesterday. Of course many people are seekers, but what do they seek and why? I guess this running ahead is a deflection from looking in the present, which for some might not be as peachy therefore they feed their imagination thinking something different will be ahead. But their mind is not ahead, is stuck on a wheel. In the end, it's a matter of attitude.
Yes, pretty well said I think.
ENGAGEtokens.The photos are quite impressive! Especially the sea looks great.
It's a very nice location and we had a nice visit the other day. Thanks for commenting.
