In South Australia, early mining methods, haulage and processing of ore and pumping of water from mines such as Glen Osmond, Montacute, Burra, Kapunda and Wallaroo Moonta, were based on Cornish technology. Observations are presented, based on visit to Cornwall in 1985, to study the contemporary mining scene and inspect sites of formerly famous mining operations. Consideration is given on how such archaeological relics in SA might be recognized, interpreted and preserved for educational, historical and tourist purposes.
