    I lived in Burra in 1978…… it still had 5 pubs, the mine was still open as was the railway. I loved my time in Burra ✅

    Terry, your channel is fabulous! You have such a friendly way of imparting your travel experiences. I'm working my way through all your videos. Just love seeing the different locations around Australia, and hearing about the history of each one. Video and music editing is perfect too. Best of luck with your channel. Look forward to the next installment! Cheers

    Great video. 2 of my grt grt grandfathers arrived there 1857. One from Wales, the other from South America. He was Jose Pizarro, a muleteers for the mines there. Bringing mules over and trekking to the port with copper and back. When the copper ran out he, his wife and her family travelled slowly to Ballarat where they grew old and passed away there. There are many Pizarros still in SA and VIC. My father and brother were born with brown skin, black hair and brown eyes. Carrying Jose's genes on.

    Thanks for the video it was really interesting. We visited Burra on our way west in 2020, and intended to go as far as Perth and then come back. Burra was one of the places we wanted to visit on the way back to spend more time in. Sadly we were only there overnight, and we couldn't get back over the border so we had to go right around Australia running from covid! My father lived at Moonta Bay, and I believe the Moonta Mines are connected to the copper at Burra, so I've seen a bit of mining history over at Moonta. Hopefully we'll get back one day!

    G'day Terry, once again a great and very informative video. Just a couple of weeks ago channel 9 put up a video of Burra. I have to congratulate you because your video left ch9's for dead. I'm a South Aussie and I was a member of the Adelaide Gem and Mineral Club, and around 1970 we the club had a "field day" in the copper mine. I found the specimen of the day a golf ball size of Banded Malachite and still have it to this day. I went back to the Burra Burra Copper Mine several years later and it was closed to the public. I was very disappointed. But it is so good to see it open now. Thank you so much for your vision around Burra. I'll definitely head back there sometime.. Cheers..

    Same trip as Terowie and Peterbourgh. Stopped here overnight and that was when we found out about the railway line. The place we stayed at was trying to resurrect it because of the paltry price it was sold for. We wandered around without the key but was still interesting. At the time w went through these areas emus were coming into town looking for food and water this was before 2019, so not sure when this vid was done but can tell you it was very interesting at this time

    That was a very interesting insight to the history of Burra.
    Did you know that the Midnight Oil house is where Ian Rosewall was born, Ken Rosewalls cousin. There used to be to be a tennis court in front of the home and the family would sit on the veranda and watch Ken and Ian play tennis.

    I by chance found your you tube channel whilst googling great ocean road, which I watched on my TV and enjoyed. When I searched Let’s Go to watch some more, you did not come up. So, I got onto TH-cam on my iPad, searched for Let’’s Go great ocean road and up came your other VTs, which is strange. So looks like I’ve got to watch them on the iPad rather than TV.
