engine house
Former engine house, now a mining museam at Burra Mines, South Australia. Copper was discovered at Burra by shepherds in 1845 and by the end of the decade it had its own mine, smelters and a population of 5000 people. The mine produced high grade copper until 1877 when falling world copper prices and the high cost of running the mine resulted in it being closed. It is now a heritage place of interest open to the public.
