Scarce map showing the proposed extension of the Kadina and Wallaroo Railway to Moonta Bay, South Australia.
The Kadina and Wallaroo Railway and Pier Company was established in 1861 to service the rich copper fields at the Wallaroo Mines at Kadina on the upper Yorke Peninsula of South Australia. They built a 5ft 3in gauge railway to transport the ore to the Wallaroo smelters and the pier. The ore wagons were horse drawn. By 1866 the railway had been extended 10 miles in a southerly direction to Moonta and Moonta Mines. The railway was further extended in 1870 to Moonta Bay where a short jetty had been built in 1865. Passenger services to Moonta Bay were operating regularly by 1877. During 1878 a new jetty was completed at Moonta Bay and the line was extended to the jetty.
