We of course had to have a Cornish pastie for lunch at the Cornish Kitchen (in the town of Moonta) before travelling on via the towns Kadina, Wallaroo and a short stop for an ice cream on the beach at Port Broughton before heading onto Pt Augusta for our first night’s stop.
23rd July, 2016 we departed Adelaide on our fantastic 7 day Whales & West Coast SA Tour.
Our first stop was in the town of Moonta which is one of the three ‘copper triangle’ towns on the Yorke Peninsula. Here we had a great guided tour of the Moonta Mines Museum to learn about the early mining history of this region.All of our passengers enjoyed our time there and found the exhibits and information extremely interesting.
Make sure you visit this Museum when you travel over to this region and also ensure that you stop across the road from the Museum, at the Moonta Mine Sweets Shop were they sell all of the yummy, old fashioned sweets - our passengers stocked up on these sweets for the trip!
