Australia’s Ghost Mine | The Dark History of Little Cornwall

Описание: Hello again, Australia 🇦🇺🎥

I’m travelling along South Australia’s Copper Coast to uncover the haunting history of Moonta Mines, once one of the richest copper districts in the world, built through hardship, child labour, tragedy, and resilience.

In this video, we explore the remains of Australia’s Little Cornwall… abandoned & haunted mine ruins that still echo with the lives of those who worked themselves into the earth.

From the rise of a mining powerhouse,
to the epidemics that devastated a generation,
to the ghosts that might still linger…
Moonta’s past is darker than most people know.

If you love forgotten history, atmospheric locations, and stories the world has left behind…
want to come along for this dark & historical ride?
