Located in South Australian region of the west coast, Ceduna is scenically surrounded by a cluster of bays, small sandy coves and tiny offshore islands which makes it a attractive holiday destination for beach lovers from all parts of the world. The closest port is Thenenard which is positioned about 3km from the town and Ceduna is home for over 2,300 townsfolk. The inner parts of the town is beautifully boarded with Norfolk Island pine trees while the jetty which runs the outer skirts of the town provides great fishing opportunities and is ideal for leisure time walks. The town derives its name from an aboriginal word and mean a “spot to sit down and relax”, fittingly named as the town is considered to be the last civilization resort before hitting west through the Nullabor wastelands.
Fisheries are the main economic industry of the town with an abundance of fish in the surrounding waters. The school shark, hammerheads and the bronze whales are fascinating sights to behold while sea food lovers could tuck into mouthwatering dishes of salmon, crab, snapper, whiting, etc. Windsurfers, water skiers and swimmers could have a whale of a time in the protected waters. Other important sites to see include the OTC Ceduna Station, Ceduna Museum, which houses the towns first school and the Laura Bay Conservation Park. October is an important month for the Ceduna townsfolk as they enjoy the festivities of the Oyster fest, with gala balls, charity quests, street parades and loads of other fun activities.
