Overview

Roxby Downs lies about 511 km north of Adelaide in South Australia’s arid Far North. The town, built between 1986 and 1988 to service the Olympic Dam mine 16 km to the north, hosts a highly transient community of roughly 4,000 people. It experiences a subtropical desert climate with very hot summers, mild winters and an annual rainfall of only 149 mm.

Residents benefit from a shopping centre, schools, TAFE, cafés, a cinema, swimming pool, cultural precinct and sporting clubs, while the nearby Roxby Downs Arboretum adds green space. Water is drawn from the Great Artesian Basin and desalinated by the mine operators, supporting households and local amenities. Proximity to the Olympic Dam operation and the Arid Recovery Reserve 20 km north provides both employment links and access to a unique wildlife‑conservation experience.
