About Tickera
Tickera is a small coastal locality on the northern Spencer Gulf coast of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, situated approximately 150 kilometres north of Adelaide and 20 kilometres north of Wallaroo within the Copper Coast Council area. With a population of 194, the settlement has a distinctly maritime character shaped by generations of professional fishermen working the waters of Spencer Gulf. The locality covers a large area of around 91 square kilometres, encompassing coastal farmland and foreshore.
Tickera is widely known as the Crab Capital of the Spencer Gulf, with crabbing forming a central part of the local economy and identity. The beach and foreshore offer a quiet coastal retreat popular with recreational fishers, boaters, and holiday visitors seeking an unhurried seaside experience. Facilities are minimal — residents rely on Wallaroo and Kadina for shopping, schools, and medical services — but the locality rewards those who value rugged coastal scenery and a tight-knit fishing community far from city crowds.
Tickera falls under postcode 5555 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
