About Blinman
Blinman is an historic copper-mining town in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, about 425 km north of Adelaide and 60 km north of Wilpena Pound, and the highest surveyed town in the state. It is named after Robert Blinman, a shepherd who discovered the copper outcrop in 1859 that grew into a prosperous mine, worked until 1918 and now heritage-listed at the end of the town. The town, on the traditional lands of the Adnyamathanha people, is today a stop-off for outback travellers on the way to Arkaroola, with a pub, general store and cafes, and is close to the gorges of Brachina and Parachilna.
