Kapunda , SA
80km
north of Adelaide, Kapunda might be small in size and population, but the
town is big on history. One of those historic stands south of the town, an
eight-metre bronze statue known as Map Kernow or Son of Cornwall. Cast from
the work of artist Van Zetten, the statue is a tribute to the Cornish miners
who worked Australia’s first, incredibly rich copper mine. The Cornish
link is also celebrated in Australia’s oldest Celtic festival which
is held on the weekend before Easter.
The Celtic connection underpins by the Kapunda Museum collection displayed
in the original Baptist Church and the displays presented by the Bagot's Fortune
interpretive mining centre. Kapunda was also home for more than 40 years to
Australia’s Cattle King, Sir Sydney Kidman who owned a chain of cattle
and horse properties whose combined area was greater than the size of England.
