Talisker Mine

Magical place full of beautiful nature and history. The past really seems close in this one! Definitely recommend a hike of about 1,5 hours here!

The historic site is well signposted and some buildings are preserved.
The ore is exposed on the main path before the turn off to the crusher.
There are grass trees that look as old as the mine and some nice views of the coastline and Kangaroo Island..

Very rewarding place to visit. It has a wonderful place to walk and the mine workings ruins are really worth it, even if you have kids. The trails can get quite steep but for those who cant walk it there are easier trails. This conservation park has the most amount of Xanthorrhoea or Grass Tree plants growing i hzve ever seen.

So much history and the placement of information made it easy to visualise how it used to look. The graffiti was disappointing as it's a place of history but was still super cool. And the walk was nice on a cool breezy day

Great educational walk, the last remaining intact kiln im SA. The walk is approximately an hour half round trip at a leisurely stroll. There are steep sections to the track which may not be to everyones physical capabilities but nothing more extreme than odd heigh stairs. This section is optional and the main shaft, kiln and refinery is accessible about 10 mins down the path. Lots of quality signs for those interested in the historical side.
Further up the lookout to Kangaroo Island is a noce short trek. Tip: take a photo of the map as you leave carpark.

Loved trekking through here reading the info boards of how mining was done back in the day.
Some steep areas to watch out for after rain as it can get very slippery, otherwise well preserved relics to view.

Beautiful, historical walk. Very steep and not suitable for old people or little children.

What a great way to kill some time if you are around the area of Cape Jervis. The beautiful sights and views. Being able to walk through the history of the mines is incredible.
I loved it.
There's some great photo opportunities too!

Great to see a little bit of history! The ruins are amazing! 👌

Stunning on a cloudy, rainy day when everything was fresh and dripping wet. Really informative walk through the ruins of an old mining area. Steep in parts but not too long.

Great to visit to see how tough our ancestors had to be to succeed.
Very steep terrain so be prepared for lots of steps.

I was sussing out places on the Fleurieu Peninsula worth taking photos of and this Old abandoned Mine popped up.

Fascinating walk! Bit of a hike back up if you don't want to climb the rocky slope.

Loved it. Walked all the paths and read all the signs. Take your time and cover all the options. Great birding too.

A beautiful walk among the historical remains of the mine with fantastic flora and fauna everywhere, and a view to die for.

add some fun on the trek route. not worth for a planed trip just for this.

Great history and signage explained and great exploring and clear paths.

Lovely place

An amazing piece of history, and an incredible walk!

Worth the effort
