Burra, Administrative center in The Regional Council of Goyder, Australia

The Regional Council of Goyder manages local governance from its headquarters in Burra, coordinating services for multiple communities across South Australia's Mid North region.

Following the copper discovery in 1845, Burra emerged as a cornerstone of Australia's mining industry, becoming South Australia's largest inland settlement by 1851.

The Burra Heritage Trail connects numerous preserved mining structures and historical buildings, documenting the evolution of this South Australian copper mining town.

The Regional Council of Goyder maintains offices in both Burra and Eudunda, providing administrative services to residents across 6,719 square kilometers.

Former mining tunnels beneath Burra's streets now serve as historical repositories, preserving equipment and documents from the 19th-century copper mining operations.
