WELCOME TO THE

Copper Coast Wallaroo is the largest seaside town in the Copper Coast with a population of around 4,000 people. Situated on Wallaroo Bay on the East coast of Spencer Gulf, Yorke Peninsula, it is an easy 90 minute drive from the outskirts of Adelaide. The Copper Coast is located at the top west side of the Yorke Peninsula with its main towns of Wallaroo, Kadina & Moonta. Smaller towns and settlements are located throughout the council area including the coastal towns of Port Hughes, North Beach and Moonta Bay and the rural settlement of Paskeville. With a population of over 15,000 people, Yorke Peninsula’s Copper Coast is famous for having some of South Australia’s best holiday beaches and its many attractions and accommodation make the Copper Coast an ideal tourist destination for both local and international visitors. The Copper Coast offers a perfect destination for those seeking relaxation, stunning white sandy beaches that are safe for swimming, excellent fishing and diving opportunities, plenty of outdoor activities and a chance to step back in time to the state’s copper mining heyday. Wallaroo is the largest seaside town in the Copper Coast. Voted South Australia’s 2022 Small Tourism Town of the Year, visitors come for the boating, fishing, beaches, coastline, walking trails, history and the seaside resort feel.

Wallaroo was once the second busiest port in South Australia, mainly due to mining and smelting. Many historic buildings from that time are still preserved. These days its shipping terminal caters for international grain needs and shares the picturesque foreshore with ideal spots to fish, swim and relax. Kadina is home to more than 5,600 people and is where copper was first discovered in the Wallaroo Mines. A few relics of the copper mining industry remain as well as many old limestone cottages. Victoria Square in the heart of the town offers beautiful parkland and playgrounds and hosts the monthly markets. The area is named Copper Coast in recognition of the region’s copper mining heritage. The first copper was discovered at Wallaroo Mines (Kadina) and Cornish miners and Welsh smelters soon made their home in Australia’s Little Cornwall. The importance of the Moonta Mines area is recognised with National Heritage site status. While you are here take the time to sit back and enjoy a sunset, the Copper Coast turns on quite a display. Relax on the beach, catch some fresh seafood, enjoy the walking, cycling and art trails, and explore all the region has to offer. For more information on the Copper Coast, go to www.visitcoppercoast.com.au

Yorke Peninsula’s Copper Coast is an ideal location to visit if you are looking for relaxation, a beautiful white sandy and safe swimming beach, a good fishing or diving spot, or a glimpse back into the heyday of our State’s copper mining days.

Great weather, beaches, fabulous fishing and all amenities, including upgraded boat ramps, make this a special place to visit and live. Vibrant commercial and retail opportunities exist to support the local community and those visiting the area. Enjoy a traditional Cornish pasty, coffee and cake or a meal at one of the many cafes, bakeries or restaurants.

The original home of the Nharangga people, the regions prosperity is attributed to the wealth of the land that now lends itself to a rich agricultural sector.

The Copper Coast Tourism and Events Team #visitcoppercoast

The area is named Copper Coast in recognition of the copper mining heritage of the region dating back to 1859 when copper was first discovered at Wallaroo Mines (Kadina) and Cornish and Welsh miners made their home in Australia’s Little Cornwall. The importance of the Moonta Mines area is recognized as it is a National Heritage site.

Beaches, Fishing & Marine Life The Copper Coast is home to some of South Australia’s most beautiful and picturesque beaches. Here you will have access to the crystal-clear pristine waters of the Spencer Gulf, with that beautiful aqua colour which characterises the regions waters. Here are some of the top beaches to explore: North Beach Wallaroo North Beach is a beautiful, secluded beach, ideal for a serene day by the water. The beach is huge and extends 2.3km long the entire distance from the marina breakwater to the North Beach township. It boasts clear blue waters, soft sandy shores, and is enveloped by sand dunes and coastal greenery. It’s an excellent spot for swimming and families, and a preferred choice among snorkellers and scuba divers. North Beach is one of the few South Australian beaches that you can drive on. Here you can drive your car down on to the sand and set up for the day without carrying anything very far. The sand is very firm and compacted for driving on and the beach slopes very gradually. Be sure to consider the incoming tide when you park your car. Office Beach Wallaroo Located on the Wallaroo beachfront, Office Beach is right next to cafes and restaurants. Office Beach is a safe beach for young children and a great area to enjoy the sun and sand. There are plenty of shaded areas and walking distance to the Wallaroo main streets and accommodation. Moonta Bay The popular Moonta Bay beach has soft sand and calm waters, perfect for swimming, paddle-boarding, and fishing. It is family friendly with plenty of amenities including a playground and barbecue facilities. Moonta Bay Jetty A popular location for crabbing, fishing and snorkelling, the Moonta Bay Jetty is also a beautiful spot to watch the sunset over the water.

Port Hughes Port Hughes is a sheltered beach that is ideal for families and children. Its tranquil waters, playground, and barbecue facilities make it a perfect location for a leisurely picnic or a day trip.

FISHING The Copper Coast is well known for its excellent fishing. From beaches and jetties to rocky breaks and boat fishing, there is something for everyone. The much sought-after King George Whiting are frequently caught here as well as yellowtail whiting, garfish, tommy ruffs, mullet, salmon, snook, and occasionally flathead. Bream can also be caught, mainly within the marina. Among the bigger fish are snapper and mulloway and from time-to-time Yellowtail Kingfish. Squid are plentiful in the area and Wallaroo is probably just about the best place in the country for blue swimmer crabs (September to April).

MARINE LIFE Point Riley is a popular spot for fishing, snorkelling and exploring. The reefs along the shore attract a variety of marine creatures, from cuttlefish to Port Jackson Sharks. Dolphins and seals are also frequently seen in the area and the rock pools at low tide are fun to spot smaller critters, like baby squid, sand whiting, crabs and more. Bring your snorkelling gear and an underwater camera to explore the underwater world.

History Wallaroo was first settled in 1851 when Robert Miller took up 104 square miles of land for sheep grazing. This was taken over in 1857 by Walter Watson Hughes, and one of his shepherds found copper in 1859 while tending sheep.

Mines were established, and Wallaroo subsequently grew rapidly. Particularly in the early years, ships were the only practical means of transport, so almost everything in and out was transported by sea. By 1923, Wallaroo was the second biggest port in South Australia, only Adelaide being bigger. Moonta Mines holds a significant place in Australia’s industrial and cultural heritage. At its peak, over 6,000 residents lived and worked at the mine, making it one of the world’s most profitable copper mines. Smelters were built to handle the copper ore, and the population grew rapidly, as did the port. The main inbound cargoes were phosphate rock for a local fertiliser works, and coal for the smelters, as well as foodstuffs, timber and mining equipment. Outbound cargo consisted mainly of grain and copper.

Hughes Chimney, Wallaroo, Credit: Copper Coast Council

During the Copper Coast’s boom times as a port, there was a gradual change from sailing ships to steam driven vessels, and sometimes there were both types in the port together. All cargo had to be loaded and unloaded by hand, so there was a large population needed to handle the work. The mines and smelters were largely staffed by Cornish (miners) and Welsh (smelters) immigrant workers who came to Australia to take advantage of the need for their skills. Low copper prices forced the closure of the smelters in 1923 and the town population gradually declined as a result. The opening of a smelter in nearby Port Pirie with rail access also helped to seal the fate of the Wallaroo smelters, and all that remains is one chimney, as a reminder of the industrial past. The bustle of the past is truly over, as mining and the associated smelting have long gone. Wallaroo is still an active sea port, which services the inbound wheat and grain from local farmers. Inbound goods nowadays are carried exclusively by road transport. The three jetties that existed have been reduced to one. In contrast to the extensive manual labour of the old days, the cargo is bulk loaded via a gantry from the grain silos.
