National Trust Miners Cottage

Nestled in Moonta Mines, the 1870 Miners Cottage showcases traditional Cornish architecture, blending hand-fired bricks with wattle and daub construction. This well-preserved cottage offers a glimpse into the lives of miners from the Moonta, Yelta, Karkarilla, Parramatta, and Hamley Mines. Its interior is authentically furnished to reflect the 1870s era, while the surrounding heritage garden, enclosed by a classic stick fence, features original plants and provides a serene setting. Guided tours are available, allowing visitors to explore the cottage and garden's rich history.
