Lincoln port
Port Lincoln (: 14704 inhabitants) is a city (" city") of South Australia at the southern end of the Peninsula of Eyre, at the bottom of the " Boston Bay".
The city is with 280 kilometers in straight line of the capital of the state Adélaide but to 686 by the road.
Before the arrival of Europeans in 1836, the area was occupied by the tribe of Parnkalla.
The British explorer Matthew Flinders discovered the current site of the in February 1802 city. Because of harbor qualities of the place, it called the place Port Lincoln rather than Lincoln, the name of the capital of the county of Lincolnshire in which it was originating. It is to be thought that it is only the absence of fresh water in sufficient quantity which prevented the city from being capital state.
The economy of the city is based on cereal industry, of fishing with the canning facilities and the breeding of tunas, of the sheep (meat and wool), of the bovines. Tourism takes importance more and more. The city has also a prison where the nondangerous prisoners considered raise cattle.
