August 21 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
The Kapunda Heritage Trail leads you on a tour through the history and development of Kapunda with occasional stops for a short stroll to points of interest. Highlights include the old mine area, past tunnels, open cuts, and miners’ cottages, and the fascinating two-story folk museum, regarded as the finest in Australia. It has an extensive display of agricultural machinery and a motor pavilion. Among other motoring memorabilia, the pavilion features Kapunda’s old fire engine and ambulance. Bagot’s Fortune is a brilliant interpretive display of the mining history with a working-scale model of Kapunda’s original Cornish Bull Pumping Engine.
