This engine house has been partly rebuilt, to a point where you can see what it was, but still see the ruins. It's free to wander round and find different features around it. You can just see the shaft it used to pump, looks pretty deep. For safety reasons you can't go into the Pumphouse itself, I think that may eventually open. Be prepared if it has been raining, the dirt surface you walk on will get pretty slippery. And muddy.

The Hughes engine house is a masterpiece of design, the buildings are from a bygone era , with huge block of stone and a comprehensive map which highlights how the engine first looked and what it’s purpose was for. Highly recommend a cost to this historical part of Moonta.

Who doesn't like history when you're out-n-about faffing around on a motorcycle? Great place to wonder around and soak in what made this country what it is today. A must-see!

Pigeons give it 5 stars too, theyre disgusting all dead and stinking up the place. Pigeons aside this is an awesome spot and you can wander around freely and explore

Great family place to visit, best thing about SA is everything is so close! Lots of history and such a pretty place to visit, a top away from the beach!

Plenty of information. Worth the walk on a hot summer day to check out the engine houses.
