THE BEST OF KAPUNDA LIVING

The township was originally built around Australia's first metal mine following the discovery of copper in 1842. The richness of the era is evidenced in a treasure-trove of preserved buildings including South Australia's first police station and courthouse. Today Kapunda plays an important role as the premier service town for the surrounding rural area, some of South Australia's premium farming country.
