Moonta Mines

After doing the train ride in the morning we were going to go back and explore the old mine site. Was so hot we just ended up lazing around the van.

We did go out and explore the next morning before heading to Port Victoria. One of the advantages of not staying in a van park. No time you have to be out by. Was a much cooler day, was very pleasant strolling around. We even did the walk up to the top of one of the tailings heap. I think the path up was the original one from mining days. Visited one of the churches still doing services on a Sunday. It was mandatory for the miners and their families to attend at least one service on a Sunday.

Was very interesting and well worth the visit.Read more
