The Hamley Mine (originally the Karkarilla Mine) was one of the larger mines in the Moonta-Wallaroo area, producing an estimated 10,000 tonnes of copper throughout its lifetime. It primarily operated from 1862 to 1888, although it was subsequently reworked by tributors[ check spelling ] and sold to another company in 1914. [9] Hamley was connected by horse tramway to East Moonta and Moonta Bay from 1869 to 1930. [10] The sites of the Hamley mine and associated tramway are points on the Moonta Heritage Trail. [11]
