Kimba - SA RVFT

Kimba is a rural service town on the Eyre Highway, sitting at the top of the Eyre Peninsula. The town is widely renowned for the ‘big galah’, which stands 7 metres tall on the side of the highway. The ‘big galah’ marks the halfway point between the east and west coasts of Australia.


For those travelling along the Eyre Highway and looking for a place to stop, the Lions Park offers free short-term parking. There is no cost to stay on-site, and access to toilets, a BBQ area and gazebo is available. Please note there is no power available. A dump point is available for use at Kimba Recreation Reserve and potable water is also available on-site.


Kimba is the eastern gateway to the spectacular Gawler Ranges. Only a 100 kilometres drive north-west, visitors have the chance to experience the open spaces and solitude of the outback. Gawler Ranges Visitor Information Bay on Railway Terrace is a uniquely designed structure displaying directions and features of the Gawler Ranges National Park.
