Wallaroo is a Copper Coast town on the Yorke Peninsula, overlooking Spencer Gulf. The local Visit Copper Coast guide (opens in a new tab) is a useful place to begin when planning time in town and around the wider region.

The South Australian Tourism Commission’s Wallaroo overview (opens in a new tab) introduces the town’s coastal setting and its connection to the Yorke Peninsula’s mining history. Check current local advice before planning any beach, jetty or on-water activity.

The Smelters Trail (opens in a new tab) offers a way to encounter Wallaroo’s copper-smelting history near the foreshore. Confirm current access, conditions and visitor information before setting out.
