[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 485077, member: 4386"] It is a good site and they are good finds. I think it would be about 1866 that it was established, died and is now re-established (access not bad). I have often wondered about Kapunda - it is one of Australia's earliest mine sites (about 1846 I think). Used to be old ruins everywhere, including mining odds and ends, but the town has grown. I drilled the mine - great azurite and malachite concretions. i.e. most of that wattle scrubland now around Moonta-Wallaroo was originally cleared and built on. Locals seem friendly except some Adelaide weekenders....Saw some nice specimens on dumps. The world's best atacamite specimen came from there... [/QUOTE]
