Burra is South Australia's hidden gem.

I did this with my parents, LOVED the idea of the key. My favourite was the underground brewery tunnels and the dig out houses!

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 ✅

Well done to the people who've made this available to locals & tourists alike. I can only imagine the volunteering hours put into the project for other people's experiences & enjoyment.

That was brilliant Terry, I've been to Burra many times and had no idea about that self guided tour,

It’s a great idea and fun to do at your own pace.

Thanks for a wonderfully presented video Terry. My wife and I visited Burra 2019, took the key tour and your video took us right back there. Love this town. We camped with our caravan up at the old showgrounds on the edge of town. your delivery very relaxed, enjoyable and easy to watch. Cheers.

Thanks for the tour Terry - awesome ! We feel like visiting some of these places you’re showing us now. Great channel.

Abby thanks for the input I learnt a little more about Australia as I was not aware that SA was almost given to the French.

Excellent commentary,and vlog, and love the background music,beautiful stone work on every building, cheers from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺

Thank you, Terry, for a very interesting and informative video. Love your sense of humour. Cheers.

Well done informative video, I moved close by 2 years ago. Great town, there's so much history.

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.

ps this is an interesting video and I like that you told us the history etc.

16:30 the unicorn brewery cellar was actually a filming location for Wolf creek 2 featuring John jarrett. I included a link to John coming back after the cellar flooded a while ago. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/mmSkzqufeLXaj8Y.html&pp=ygUSSm9obiBqYXJyZXR0IGJ1cnJh

Thanks for the information. That’s awesome!

thanks for this video. i did the key thing about 10 years ago so this brings back some wonderful memories. it is an amazing place and everyone should go see it.

I could hear the pigeons when I went to the engine house as well

Love what you’re doing. Had no idea of many of these towns.

the brewery, down in the cellars was where scenes from wolf creek were filmed.

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!

Thank you for sharing this amazing place.

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

Thankyou so much for sharing this information! I live in Adelaide and never knew, now I'm going to take my 3 children here to learn about SA history 👍

My family lives there and it is an amazing town.

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 KZread 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.

Burra was also train history, got that through the lad at the motel

Burra is lovely though

Wanted to see Australia but put right off since Wolf Creek movie, big diff between rough diamond bloke and rough 💩 huh

The brevet sergeant, John, that is/was there… genuinely the best Cop in the state. And I can’t stand cops. Be worth settling down there just to know you’re in a safe and supported community.

O M G SA broke dont tell Allen she will sell Victoria to the French!😊

Maybe you should blurr out their security footage
