A major fishing port, Port Lincoln is also a crummy looks-like-its-been-used-hard sort of town. The locals are open and friendly, but down to earth and practical, especially in their creative approach to making money off of cruise ship visitors! Many vendors had set up shop right at the entrance to town, and were selling hand made items in support of local charities, for exorbitant prices.
I visited the local book shop, and had a nice chat with the shop's owner. She said the town does not get too many cruise ships visiting, but mainly relies on the commercial fishing industry for its economy.
