Historic Mintaro.

Established in the 1850's as a stopping post for the teams transporting copper from Burra to Port Wakefield. Homes and public buildings were constructed to provide services to these teams. The town's historical significance was recognised in the 1980's when it received a State Heritage listing. Many of the individual buildings which you can visit and where you can stay are on the State Heritage register. A quiet little hamlet with a population approximately 80.

A very well composed, lively and interesting gallery, with photos of good quality. All is so relative, but history has different dimension. I find a little puzzled reading that a place much “younger” than the house where I live is considered historical. I like your style of photography.

An interesting collection of images of your view of Mintaro, Yvonne. We went through there last year when visiting the Clare Valley.
