WELCOME TO
Port Lincoln Known as the Seafood Capital of Australia, Port Lincoln is nestled by the beautiful waters of Boston Bay on the Eyre Peninsula. North west of Port Lincoln lies the lovely township of Coffin Bay which is famous for its oysters. Prior to European settlement, the region was home to Traditional Owners from the Nauo tribe. These hunter gatherers roamed widely along the coastal scrub lands living on seafood and native fauna, which included kangaroos and lizards as well as a variety of tubers and plants. Neighbouring tribes comprised of the Kokata and the Parnkalla people. Although little is known of the pre-European history of the local groups, the Kokata were known to the other tribes as the ‘Nganitjini’ people, a term which means “those that sneak and kill by night” according to early anthropologists. In 1802, Matthew Flinders named the region after an English district called Lincoln where he grew up. After European settlement, which occured in 1839, many people from the Parnkalla tribe moved from the surrounding region into Port Lincoln itself. The Eyre Peninsula is the traditional home to the Barngarla (Port Lincoln area), Nauo on the Southern Side, and Wirangu peoples further up the far west coast. When Mathew Flinders first arrived in the area he was greeted by the Barngarla people, they believed they were the spirits
of the ancestors returned from their islands, the Barngarla people helped show the first settlers where to locate fresh water which saved them from perishing. The traditional Barngarla name for Port Lincoln is Galinyala, it means place of sweet water. The Barngarla people lived by the coast and inland which they visited seasonally and for special purposes. They have a strong connection to the sea and they fished for a wide variety of seafood — mainly fish (gooya) — and hunted land animals like kangaroos, emus (warraidya), birds (irda), snakes and lizards. A favourite food of the Barngarla people were the Nondo beans (acacia seeds) from the Wattle trees and Karkalla (pigface) plants. Barngarla people wore cloaks made from kangaroo skin, with the fur turned inside during winter to keep warm. The Barngarla people’s dreaming includes stories that are Barngarla local stories and universal Dreamtime stories that link into other places and other tribes like the seven sisters stories. These stories connect to the moon, stars, landscapes and islands.

COFFIN BAY OYSTERS The Eyre Peninsula is South Australia’s oyster growing region, with growers stretching from Ceduna to Cowell. The most famous of the regions is Coffin Bay due to its pristine waters rich in nutrients and gentle tidal waters. The most common Coffin Bay oyster is the pacific oyster which was introduced in the area in 1969. Oyster operations have grown steadily since then and the area currently has in excess of 50 independent growers sending oysters to all parts of the globe. Coffin Bay Oysters are legendary for their succulent sweet taste and a delicate flavour.

Fishing & Boating
Port Lincoln, Credit: South Australian Tourism Commission
The modern fishing fleet of Port Lincoln is said to date back to the Haldane brothers who, in 1956, were given money from the South Australian government to finish building their Victorian ship on the condition they go deep-sea fishing off the SA coastline. It did not take long before the clean sea began to show promise, and Port Lincoln became one of the premier fishing ports in Australia. Local fisherman now regularly catch prawns, abalone and crayfish. But it is the southern bluefin tuna that has put Port Lincoln on the map and at one stage given the city the highest number of millionaires per head of population in Australia.
Fishing, Port Neill, Credit: Tourism Australia
The famous bluefin tuna of Port Lincoln are usually towed gently into the port in purse seine nets as juveniles, where they are housed in tuna farms and allowed to fatten up. They are destined for the Japanese sashimi market, which pays hundreds, often thousands, of dollars per fish. It is not just the famed bluefin tuna that inspires the passions of seafood lovers when Port Lincoln is mentioned. The oysters from nearby Coffin Bay are claimed by locals to be Australia’s best, while the Spencer Gulf, just west of the Yorke Peninsula, is known for its superb prawns. There’s a number of boat charters in Port Lincoln to indulge your penchant for fishing, diving and sightseeing. For more information, visit the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre.
SEASONAL FISHING CALENDAR Whiting, salmon, sweep, snook, trevally, Australian herring (tommy ruff), garfish, squid, and many other species are available year-round, while late summer and autumn are best for tuna and kingfish. ALL YEAR ROUND
