| Description : |
A boat on the beach at Port Julia. 12 kilometres north of the resort town of Port Vincent, Port Julia is a 'tiny holiday town' with a resident population of just over 300. But this reputation as a sleepy town belies its history. For just over one hundred years, the town was a thriving port, carrying wheat and barley across the St Vincent Gulf to Port Adelaide. Now better known as a great location for fishing and crabbing, Port Julia is home to campgrounds, a heritage-listed jetty and a variety of bird and animal life. |
