Wallaroo - Copper Coast

Wallaroo was once a bustling mining town, which mined, smeltered and delivered copper and other metals to the world. Today it is a popular holiday town. Situated approx 160 kms from Adelaide, it now has a multimillion dollar marina with family recreation in mind. Boating, paddle boarding, windsurfing, sailing and swimming all popular. There is a pontoon on the foreshore to take the plunge from or simply swim in the shallows from the beach.
There is a deep sea port and is home to the Spencer Gulf prawn fleet. Grain silo's and ship loading facilities are present.
