Kapunda Farm Fair - Did You Know?

DID YOU KNOW


Map the miner "Map Kernow"	The Kapunda Farm Fair is a biannual event. The town of Kapunda is 77km North from the Adelaide GPO Via Gawler Bypass. Kapunda was the first successful metal mining town in Australia (copper). Kapunda is 15 minutes from the gorgeous Barossa Valley & 60 minutes to the well known Clare Valley.
The Rotary Club of Kapunda initiated the erection of the town icon "MAP KERNOW", affectionately known as Map the Miner, a seven metre bronze statue which acknowledges the Cornish miners who contributed to the establishment of Australia's first commercial mining venture. The Kapunda Tourist and Leisure Park is situated in historic Dutton Park in the heart of Kapunda and offers a range of self contained cabins and Shaded powered sites. The Kapunda Harness Racing Club are conveners of this fabulous event.
