Yorke Peninsular Part Three

A 10kg Snapper

My version of this.

Nah I cannot tell a "fish story" I didn't catch it.

It was a gift from a fellow camper who loves to catch them...

.. but doesn't eat them!!!!!!!

Thanks Dick...

God it is beautiful eating....

Then onto Kadina the largest town on the Yorke Peninsula.

Some beautiful old buildings..

And historic ruins, all from the mining of Copper.

Part of this site had collapsed due to undermining.

There were many magnificent houses and buildings...

From there back to Wallaroo, this is the Memorial Hall.

From there a trip to the Museum, this is the "Witness Box" and Magistrates Chair.

Into the Maritime Section with lots of models and displays.

You may remember the Ethel ruins in the sand at the bottom of a cliff in Inneston National Park,

here are the pictures....

"George" the giant squid.

he could do with a water change, but about 20ft.with tentacles...

thats a lot of Calamari !!!!!

We loved this old poster, note the aborigine.

Then outside a Stump Jump Plow..

The TV reception in Wallaroo leaves a bit to be desired...

Maybe this wasn't helping !!!!!

A quick dash back to Moonta 

full of lovely buildings and the make great Cornish Pasties...

Gorgeous Houses, there was a lot of money in Copper Mining.

This is one of the early Cornish Style Terraces.

The town is surrounded by these tailing dumps from what they pulled out of the ground.

The National Trust is doing a great job in preserving these historic ruins.

This time a view from the top of the tailing dump to the settling ponds...

This is a Pump House as the mine continually filled with water, it operated 24/7.

And tomorrow we head for home....
