Wallaroo Mines

Wallaroo Mines, established in 1860, is a historic suburb of Kadina on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. Once a bustling copper mining hub, it now offers a self-guided walking trail around the former mine site, featuring the 1874 Harvey's Pumping Station, the last surviving mine pumping station, listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The Kadina Heritage Trail highlights sites like the 1860 pioneer cemetery, former Methodist Church, police residence, post office, and various old residences associated with the settlement. The Wallaroo Mines Primary School remains operational, serving the local community.
