Moonta

Moonta, Moonta Bay and Port Hughes are adjacent coastal towns on the Yorke Peninsula.

Understand
On the Copper Coast, during its mining heyday Moonta had a population second only to Adelaide in South Australia.

Today, the town plays on its Cornish heritage, mining tourism, as well as its beaches, boating and fishing.

By car
The B89 Spencer Highway runs past Moonta, although the quickest way from Port Wakefield is the one hour drive via B8 and then. From Adelaide, it's another extra two hours to get to Pt. Wakefield.
