The starting point for any visit to Port Pirie is this multifaceted attraction on the site of the Mary Ellie Street railway station, hosting the visitor information centre, city library, a regional art gallery (more later) and a variety of fun family things to do. First off, great white sharks are a fact of seafaring life in the Southern Ocean, and...
One of several historic buildings flanking Ellen Street is the elegant Ellen Street Station, completed in the Victorian Pavilion style in 1902. This served as Port Pirie’s main terminus for passengers until 1967, and has since been preserved in situ as the National Trust Museum. This is the go-to if you want to dip into Port Pirie’s industrial and ...
Part of the Visitor Information Centre complex, the regional art gallery opened in 1992 and puts an emphasis on work by South Australian artists. The gallery was initially in the old Mary Ellie Street railway station building – now hosting the library – and was then given its own space in 1994 when the Regional Tourism & Arts Centre opened. As well...
East of Port Pirie’s grain silos, and just next to the ominously named Bridge to Nowhere is arguably the prettiest spot on the city’s waterfront. There’s a stretch of sandy beach here, and a jetty poking out into the creek with ladders for swimmers. If you don’t fancy swimming in Port Pirie Creek you can relax on the beach or the grassy foreshore, ...
The Flinders Ranges are visible from the waterfront in Port Pirie, and if you’d like to journey into this mountainous region then Mount Remarkable National Park is a great place to start. The park is divided into three blocks, so while the namesake peak is about 45 minutes north of Port Pirie, the southern Mambray Creek section is 15 minutes north-...
This small museum can be found on the waterfront and celebrates the Italian fishing community that first arrived in Port Pirie from Molfetta, Puglia at the end of the 19th century. The museum’s showpiece is a beautifully restored plank-hulled fishing boat, Elizabeth, built in the early-20th century. Located where the fishermen launched their boats,...
In the shadow of the huge grain silos on the waterfront in Port Pirie is an adorable little park, always clean and tidy. As the name suggests, the park’s great asset is its marvellous vista north and north-east to the Flinders Ranges. As part of an ongoing program to beautify Port Pirie’s foreshore, Flinders View Park has been given a few upgrades ...
Port Pirie is at the west end of a 395km trail into the outback to the frontier mining town of Broken Hill. The Heritage Rail Trail can tell you a lot about Port Pirie’s development in the late-19th century and the industry that sustains the city to this day. Stopping at 15 towns, it follows the narrow gauge Broken Hill to Port Pirie line, which wa...
In 2019 this complex reopened as part of the new Port Pirie Sports Precinct, providing facilities for everything from cricket to squash, gymnastics and Aussie rules football. The Aquatic & Leisure Centre has a design that evokes the profile of the Flinders Ranges and houses an indoor pool and an indoor splash park for children. Outside is a heated ...
The local Returned Services League Club in Port Pirie has put together a fantastic display that first opened to the public in 2009. Sourced from an extensive collection, this exhibition has a section devoted to every conflict from the Second Boer War (1899-1902) to the 21st-century operations in Afghanistan. In each exhibit there’s a detailed summa...
