The 15 biggest towns carry most of the directory, but the Peninsula is dotted with dozens of smaller places, old jetty settlements, mining ruins, farming hamlets and quiet beaches, each with at least one local business calling it home. This page is for them.
← Back to the main Towns sectionThese aren't padded-out placeholder pages. Every locality below has real, verified businesses in the directory, sourced the same way as the 15 hub towns, not filled in with guesswork to make the map look fuller.
26 localities listed below, sorted alphabetically.
A small farming crossroads inland from Maitland, one of the quiet service points scattered through the Peninsula's grain country.
Browse Arthurton →A low-key holiday and fishing town on the Peninsula's western coast, its jetty and calm beach make it a favourite for whiting fishing without the crowds of the bigger coastal towns.
Browse Balgowan →A working grain town on the northern Peninsula, silos and a main-street pub anchoring the surrounding cropping country.
Browse Bute →Sits by the Clinton Conservation Park, a stretch of mangroves and tidal saltmarsh that's an important shorebird habitat at the top of the gulf.
Browse Clinton →A tucked-away coastal town near Edithburgh with a sheltered boat ramp and tidal flats, popular for crabbing and prawning as much as fishing.
Browse Coobowie →A farming town best known for its limestone sinkhole cave nearby, a genuine caving and fossil site most visitors driving through would never guess is there.
Browse Curramulka →The residential edge of Moonta proper, bordering the Moonta Mines heritage precinct.
Browse East Moonta →One of the smallest named localities on the Peninsula, a single rural business rather than a town centre as such.
Browse Hamley →A sheltered bay on the Peninsula's southern coast, known among locals for scallops and whiting rather than as a tourist stop.
Browse Hardwicke Bay →One of several oddly-named farming localities on the southern Peninsula, a rural district rather than a town centre, but with a real handful of local businesses.
Browse Jerusalem →A rural district near Minlaton, part of the close-set pattern of small farming localities across the Peninsula's midsection.
Browse Matta Flat →The heritage heart of the "Copper Triangle": Cornish engine houses, miners' cottages and the National Trust museum sit here, including the Hughes Enginehouse featured in our story section.
Browse Moonta Mines →A small rural locality near Minlaton, another of the Peninsula's quietly-named farming districts.
Browse New Town →A stretch of coastline near Wallaroo, named plainly for what it is.
Browse North Beach →A tiny farming locality in the Peninsula's interior.
Browse Petersville →A shack settlement on the eastern gulf coast, its jetty and shallow flats make it a well-known local spot for blue swimmer crabs.
Browse Pine Point →A calm-water coastal town near the Peninsula's southern tip, its jetty and general store make it a base for exploring toward Innes National Park without staying in a bigger town.
Browse Point Turton →One of the smallest of the old jetty hamlets, built to ship wheat and wool from the surrounding farms before roads and trucks took over.
Browse Port Julia →A small coastal shack settlement on the western side, its jetty and boat ramp draw local fishers more than passing tourists.
Browse Port Rickaby →One of the last Australian ports to load grain onto commercial sailing ships, the old "Grain Race" windjammers anchored offshore into the mid-1900s, and a maritime museum keeps that history alive today.
Browse Port Victoria →Marks the top of the Peninsula, best known locally for the pink-tinged salt evaporation ponds along the coast here.
Browse Price →A small farming hamlet near Minlaton, one of the many close-set rural communities across the Peninsula's centre.
Browse Urania →A rural locality near Maitland, part of the Peninsula's dense grain-growing interior.
Browse Weetulta →The old Cornish copper mining ground behind Wallaroo, chimney stacks and mine ruins still stand among the walking trails, part of the same Copper Triangle heritage as Moonta Mines.
Browse Wallaroo Mines →Named for what it once shipped: a working jetty for wool and grain in the sailing-ship era, now a quiet spot for fishing off the old jetty remains.
Browse Wool Bay →A small farming district in the Peninsula's interior, named for the valley it sits in rather than for any town centre.
