He charts the arrival of hundreds of Cornish immigrants in the second half of the nineteenth century and the transplantation of distinctive Cornish cultural patterns that saw the town invent itself as 'Australia's little Cornwall'.Philip Payton is the author of 'Making Moonta: The Invention of Australia's Little Cornwall', published 2007 under ISBN 9780859897952 and ISBN 0859897958.
