| 説明 | Real photo postcard. Postally used. Stamp missing.Found in an antique shop in Adelaide."The land that was to hold Kadina was surveyed in 1861 after copper was discovered at the site known as Wallaroo Mines (just southwest of today's Kadina town), by settlers who apparently saw wombats throwing copper to the surface. Exceptional amounts of copper were found in the following years. ... The discovery of copper attracted many highly experienced Cornish miners to Kadina. The population of Kadina increased to 20,000 by 1875, mostly composed of Cornish miners." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadina,_South_Australiawww.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=1254On Friday 1 April 1904, a Frederick Clark, age 30 and the father of two young children, was killed in a fall at the Wallaroo Mines.
