Ceduna

Ceduna is a coastal town and the administrative centre of the District Council of Ceduna in South Australia. It is located on the western side of the Eyre Peninsula, approximately 775 kilometres (482 mi) by road from Adelaide. The town overlooks Murat Bay, an important feature of the Great Australian Bight. Ceduna is a significant regional centre, serving a vast agricultural and pastoral district. It is also a hub for the local fishing industry, particularly for the prized Western King Prawn.

The area was historically inhabited by the Aboriginal Wirangu people. European exploration began in the early 19th century, with Matthew Flinders charting Murat Bay in 1802. The town was established in the early 20th century, with its name derived from a local Aboriginal word. Ceduna's development was spurred by its strategic location and the growth of the surrounding industries.

Ceduna has a temperate climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The town offers various amenities and services for residents and visitors, including shops, schools, and healthcare facilities. Tourism is a growing sector, with attractions such as the Ceduna Foreshore, Denial Bay, and the nearby Cocata National Park. The town serves as a gateway to the Nullarbor Plain and Western Australia.
