Kadina is a town located on the Yorke Peninsula of
South Australia, approximately 144 kilometres
north-northwest of the state capital of Adelaide.
The largest town of the Peninsula, Kadina is one of
the three Copper Triangle towns famous for their
shared copper mining history. The three towns are
known as "Little Cornwall" for the significant
number of immigrants from Cornwall that worked
at the mines in the late 19th century.
It is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of
Moonta and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of the port
town of Wallaroo. There are 6 suburbs making up
Kadina's township, each being a distinct historic
locality or hamlet. These are: Jericho, Jerusalem,
Matta Flat, New Town and Wallaroo Mines as well
as central Kadina itself. Kadina East was
previously a suburb east of Kadina's centre.
