Map the Miner, Bronze sculpture in Kapunda, Australia

Map the Miner is a 7-metre (23 ft) statue at the southern entrance to Kapunda on Gawler Road, one of Australia's Big Things. It shows a mid-nineteenth-century miner in a felt hat, a candle fixed to the hat and spare candles around his neck, a mallet in one hand and a pick over his shoulder. The core is a steel frame on a concrete base, finished in cold cast bronze.

The sculpture was created in 1986 by sculptor Ben van Zetten and commemorates the Cornish miners who worked in Australia's first profitable copper mine during the 1840s. The monument marks a key period in the region's early industrial history.

The miner wears a felt hat with a lit candle fixed to it and spare candles hung around his neck, gear Cornish miners used underground. At the 1987 opening, Trelawny was played and guests ate saffron cake and clotted cream, Cornish foods. The name Map is Cornish for son, and Map Kernow means Son of Cornwall.

The statue is located on Thiele Highway and is easy to reach and view. Visitors can approach the monument from the road and it offers good photo opportunities from different angles.

The original 1986 statue was destroyed on 1 June 2006 when a local teenager poured molecular iodine around it hoping to photograph a "ring of fire"; the fire caused A$95,000 in damage. Insured for A$140,000, it was rebuilt by Ben van Zetten with Lawry Love Grima and rededicated on 3 June 2007, this time in cold cast bronze.
