Information on Price, SA 5570
Price is a small country town on Yorke Peninsula, 131 kilometres northwest of Adelaide, named after Florence Annie Price, daughter-in-law of Governor Jervois.
The town features substantial mangrove forests and two creek systems - Shag Creek and Wills Creek - which serve as important fish nursery areas crossed by a 1.5-kilometre causeway.
Price is a crabber's delight for Blue Swimmer Crabs, with peak season in January and February, and the town exists primarily for Cheetham Salt's operations, where salt pans dominate the southern landscape.
