Natural as nature made it

Lincoln National Park is a land of contrasts. Rocky undulating hills, tall mallee woodland, isolated sandy beaches, high rugged cliffs and drifting sand-dunes. Bird life and native animals thrive. See osprey and sea-eagles glide above a coast pitted with blowholes and caves and wildflowers in spring.

Swim with the locals

Seafood is always on the menu in Port Lincoln, which has one of the world's largest natural harbours. Go sailing, fishing, diving, surfing or just lie on the beach. Cage dive with great white sharks, kayak in the shallows or drive further north to swim with sea lions and dolphins at Baird Bay. Taste superb seafood, especially prawns, oysters and tuna. more
