Moonta Mines is a locality at the northern end of the Yorke Peninsula, adjoining the town of Moonta. It is located in the Copper Coast Council.[2] From 1861 to 1923, it was the centre of a copper mining industry that formed colonial South Australia's largest mining enterprise.[4][5] A substantial portion of the locality is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register as the Moonta Mines State Heritage Area and on the National Heritage List as the Australian Cornish Mining Heritage Site, Moonta Mines.[4][6]
