About Port Lincoln
Port Lincoln is South Australia's seafood capital, a prosperous coastal city of 14,500 residents on Boston Bay, one of the world's largest natural harbours. Located 650 kilometres west of Adelaide on the Eyre Peninsula, it's the base for Australia's major tuna industry and serves as the regional centre for Lower Eyre Peninsula.
The wealth from fishing—particularly bluefin tuna—is evident in the city's quality facilities and waterfront. Swimming with sea lions and tuna cage diving attract visitors. Port Lincoln attracts fishing industry workers, sea-changers seeking genuine coastal lifestyle, and families drawn to the combination of rural prosperity and ocean access.
Port Lincoln falls under postcode 5606 and is governed by Lower Eyre Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
