In South Australia, the Cornish connection with the state's copper-mining communities is well-known and deservedly celebrated. So too is the influence of the South Australian Cornish in other parts of the continent, especially neighbouring Broken Hill and Victoria. But mining was only ever part of their story. They were, as this volume makes clear, much More Than Miners, their distinctive impact readily apparent in an array of 'Cornish' cultural and social activities, notably music and Methodism. Besides, not all Cornish immigrants were miners, with many Cornish men and women involved in a wide variety of other occupations, particularly farming. This important collection of essays illuminates this extraordinary diversity, adding new depth and new insights to the endlessly fascinating story of the South Australian Cornish.
