Originally it was Copper in that part of the world.
That's why it's called the copper coast.
I used to live in Adelaide and the Yorke peninsula was my favourite day trip location.
I must have visited every town and driven every road.
In my 1970 XW Falcon with it's thirty gallon tank I could drive one thousand kilometres before needing to refuel.
Eaten plenty of fish and chips with the Wallaroo jetty in the front windscreen.
Never fished off it though.
Went to Ardrossan for that
