Kadina: Kadina Airfield - Copper Coast Airport - Copper Triangle Aerodrome

3 -33.97°, 137.66° NE
About location

Set into the broad farming plains of Yorke Peninsula, Copper Coast Airport is a place whose character is shaped by the open, low-lying country of South Australia’s Copper Coast. Also known as Copper Triangle Aerodrome and Kadina Airfield, it serves the district around Kadina, one of the three towns identified with the Copper Triangle. This name recalls the copper discoveries that transformed Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo during the 1860s, bringing Cornish miners and leaving a strong industrial imprint on the peninsula. The airfield’s cultivated fields and sheltering tree lines reflect the working rural landscape beyond the mining towns. Yorke Peninsula is bounded by Spencer Gulf to the west and Gulf St Vincent to the east, placing Kadina in its northern half.
