Back Roads on ABC and ABC iview S12E5 – Take a spin around the maypole with guest presenter, Paul West, at the world’s second largest Cornish festival, Kernewek Lowender, on South Australia’s Copper Coast.
Kernewek Lowender, the world’s second‑largest Cornish festival, brings maypole dancing, pasty‑making and proud heritage to South Australia’s Copper Coast.
Guest presenter Paul West explores the deep Cornish roots many Australians share, tracing them back to the miners who arrived after copper was discovered in 1861. Their legacy lives on through descendants like Paul and Liz Rowan, custodians of rare glass slides that reveal the harsh realities of life underground and the enduring spirit of the Cornish community.
