Overview

Price is a modest town on the Yorke Peninsula, situated 131 km north‑west of Adelaide in the Yorke Peninsula Council area. Its semi‑arid climate brings clear skies and a coastal feel, highlighted by a causeway that leads to the mangrove‑fringed Wills Creek and a public boat ramp where anglers enjoy plentiful fishing. Local amenities include the historic Wheatsheaf Hotel (established 1886) and a caravan park, while nearby Mangrove Point, the Wills Creek Conservation Park and the Gulf St Vincent shoreline add outdoor recreation opportunities.

The community’s economy centres on grain farming and a large sea‑salt operation run by Cheetham Salt, harvesting about 170,000 tonnes each year from 1,000 ha of evaporation ponds. While bulk products are now moved by road, the town’s historic causeway still provides marine access. Housing ranges from traditional town residences to caravan‑park accommodation, supporting both permanent families and seasonal visitors.
