From the beginning, Moonta cast itself as unique among Cornish immigrant communities, becoming âthe hub of the universeâ according to its inhabitants, forging the myth of âAustraliaâs Little Cornwallâ: a myth perpetuated by Oswald Pryor and others that survived the collapse of the copper mines in 1923âand remains vibrant and intact today.
