Burra & Goyder

Tap to play

What do Midnight Oil, Colin Thiele and the world’s biggest copper mine have in common?

South Australia’s beautiful Goyder Region.

The sun still shines on the stubble around Eudunda, the birthplace of Colin Thiele. The cottage on Cobb and Co Corner is still one of the most photographed ruins in Australia (Midnight Oil fans recognise it from the album cover Diesel and Dust), and the State Heritage town of Burra is still home to the aptly named ‘Monster Mine’ – the legacy of the 19th-century copper boom, the largest the world had ever seen.

Take the roads less travelled through the Goyder region.

You’ll stay in historic cottages, raise a glass in welcoming country pubs and wake to iconic landscapes that are the
stuff of Australia’s identity.
