Northern Yorke Peninsula

Spanning the top of the Yorke Peninsula, this northern part of the region has a range of landscapes to explore, from heritage and history at Port Wakefield and Moonta, to stunning coastlines, great fishing and sunsets at Port Hughes & Port Broughton, and farming land in between, along with the Hummocks Ranges at Kulpara.

Northern Yorke Peninsula stretches from Gulf St Vincent, Port Wakefield and Port Arthur heading north towards Bute, Mundoora, and Fisherman Bay.  

The Copper Coast towns of Wallaroo, Moonta Bay, Port Hughes & Kadina are part of the northern region of Yorke Peninsula, along with the agricultural townships of Paskeville and Kulpara.

Explore the Cornish heritage of the Moonta Mines National Heritage Area, taking a guided train tour through the copper mining area, or visit the museum and sweets shop.

Families will love Port Broughton, Kadina & Moonta Bay with plenty of activities to keep all ages entertained including Splash Town Water Park, walking & cycling trails, discovering the Kadina Fairy Door Trail, e-bike hire, and exploring the beautiful beaches.

If fishing and crabbing is your thing, Port Broughton & Tickera offer fantastic options for angling and raking for blue swimmer crabs, or join a King George whiting tour at Wallaroo.
