Beautifully maintained and furnished example of a Miner's Cottage from the 1860s. Relive the historic days of Moonta's early settlement by making a visit to the cottage. Explore the lovingly tended heritage garden and relive the heady days of copper mining in the region.

Moonta Heritage Trail 38

Reviewed By davidsY8473EV - Melbourne, Australia

Mainly dirt roads (but in good condition) to explore the area. Lots of old ruins and some buildings still in pretty good condition and the informations boards provided certainly give you a great insight into the history of the area. Easily spend a couple of hour exploring.

A must visit when in Minlaton as the history of this gentleman is so interesting and the memorial is a tribute to the people who set it up as it is really well done. A must see

Wallaroo Jetty

Reviewed By jamiebO6014TY - Adelaide, Australia

Long jetty with great views. Really interesting to see the conveyer belt taking grain to the ships. I love big ships and this is a great place to have a close look at them. Judging from the black stains on the jetty I imagine there's good squidding here as well, but I haven't had much luck
