About 20 kms off the Oonadatta Track is the old Peak Telegraph Station. A bit like Strangway it was a pastoral settlement as well as Telegraph.

House and store used by the pastoral business.

Right next to the telegraph station there was a copper mine complete with a smelter which stood in front of this terracing. Reading the signage the smelter shouldn't have been built. Based on the copper they were mining funds were raised and the smelter built but there was   never enough ore to recover the cost of the smelter.

Set a short distance apart form the other stone buildings was the Hammer and Gad eating house. Perhaps the first McDonalds set up to cater for both the locals and the travelling public.
