Elliston is on the west-coast of the Eyre Peninsula, 641 kilometres west of Adelaide. The seaside town has pristine white sand beaches, breathtaking sunsets and some of the best fishing spots in Australia. Elliston’s rugged coastline and cliffs are arguably the most spectacular on the peninsula, making the town a memorable stop-over while travelling the Great Ocean Drive. Elliston’s main industries are farming and fishing. Crayfish and abalone fisheries are thriving in the area, along with wheat farming and sheep grazing. The Elliston Wool Show occurs every October and is said to be the largest and longest-running wool show in Australia.
The town has ample parking for larger vehicles, within walking distance of shops and amenities. Elliston Golf Club allows parking for up to 96 hours for self-contained RVs only, for a fee of $10 per vehicle per night. The free dump point and potable water can be found at the Elliston Community and Visitors Information Centre, located on Memorial Drive.
Fishing, swimming and other water based activities are extremely popular in Elliston, making this town the perfect place to base yourself when exploring the Eyre Peninsula.
