Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Copper mining played a central historical role in the late 1800s the Moonta area, on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula, and Wheal Hughes Copper Mine is part of its more recent history. Visits to the mine require a hard hat, miners' boots and a cap-lamp to get a feel for the atmosphere of mining, 1890s style. Not for the frail--good physical fitness is required--and children under six are not permitted.

We visited the Oval, on a weekday, it was magnificent. We sat in the stands and admired the great icon. The Don Bradman cricket exhibition is a proud reminder of our excellent sporting history and the talent and hard work that our 'Don ' strove for an achieved. It was free, and we felt very privileged. Well worth seeing.

Excellent lunch today after a pleasant and interesting stroll through the magnificent home. Lunch menu offers many choices and prices very reasonable. The prune and Armagnac cake is scrumptious. Well done to John and his excellent staff.

My Japanese friend was impressed by the fact that the postal business had continued in this beautiful building over 140 years, while Tokyo GPO was demolished and rebuilt within a multi-purpose skyscraper. She liked the idea of Australia Post Shop, where you can buy stationery, books and souvenirs, while Japanese post offices concentrate only on postal service and banking.
