Burra

Old Building  
Burra is an old copper mining town, with many historic buildings, pretty Cornish cottages and National Trust sites still remaining. The area is known as Burra Burra and has gained its name from both the Hindu meaning of Burra (great) and the Aboriginal meaning of Burra (creek). It is well worth buying the Discovering Historic Burra booklet as it details points of interest along an 11km walk as well as giving entrance into various National Trust Sites and museums.

Around the town you really get to see how the miners and other residents of Burra used to live. You can visit the Dugouts along the creek, Malowen Lowarth and other cottages on Paxton Square, as well as the Market Square Museum. The buildings are beautiful and the atmosphere is fantastic. You can also visit the Redruth Gaol, Burra Mine Museum and the Bon Accord Complex, which supplied the town’s water until 1966.   Burra Commerical Hotel

Burra Street  
There is a selection of accommodation, although to make your stay that extra bit special you can stay in one of the old Cornish cottages on Paxton Square. This certainly gives you a trip and a stay to remember. There are also a number of places to eat, with most of the hotels serving food. You can get to Burra daily on the Greyhound Pioneers service to Sydney from Adelaide.
