We are overnighting in a quaint Miners Cottage in the historic town of Burra. They mined copper here in 1845 and then again in the 1970s. Lots of historic buildings to explore, we are hoping the weather will be kind in the morning so we can get a "heritage passport" and investigate the old mine site in more detail.Read more
