about

Hundreds of Irish moved to a small field on the outskirts of Kapunda South Australia where they set up a shanty town of huts and tents. There they created their own “mini Ireland” with Gaelic language, music and dance. By 1855 Michael O'Loghlen and his family were living at Baker's Flat, with the other Irish labourers who worked in the mines. The houses were made from tin, hessian, wood and brush from the surrounding bush.
