Moonta Bay, South Australia
Moonta Bay is located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The area was well known for copper mining and you can visit some of the historic mining sites on the tourist railway which departs from the platform adjacent to the Moonta Mines Museum. The area is sometimes referred to as 'Little Cornwall' and it is probably little wonder that the locals claim that they make some of the best cornish pasties. The area is popular with locals and the jetties are popular with fishermen and scuba divers.
A DJI Spark drone was used to capture the footage of the area including Moonta and Port Hughes jetties, the coastline of Moonta Bay, the mangroves approaching the Bird Islands and the Moonta Mines Tourist Railway.

Moonta 1860's Copper Mine, S.A
Historic Copper Mine on the outskirts of Moonta, S.A. Wonderful history like many of the 19th Century Australian Mines. Amazing so many of the original structures, whilst a little knocked about, still standing. The Museum at the local school tells you the tragic story of so many deaths from the mine and the mining town's dirty water that killed so many children. The mounds of Tailings, extracted from the mine, stand high above the landscape. Incredible size, all moved by hand & barrow from the Mine. A Pioneer & Miner's life was a tough life.
