Moonta is a historic town located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, approximately 165 kilometers northwest of Adelaide. The town gained prominence in the 1860s as one of Australia's most significant copper mining sites, earning it the nickname "Little Cornwall" due to the large number of Cornish miners who settled in the area.

The Moonta Mines State Heritage Area preserves this rich mining heritage, which was crucial to South Australia's early economic development. The town's cultural landscape is strongly influenced by its Cornish heritage, visible in its architecture, local traditions, and historical sites. Today, Moonta serves as an important regional center that combines its historical mining legacy with modern agricultural activities in the surrounding areas.
