Can I ask why are you going there? and where do you live now? Sorry to be so frank, but I have visited and there and there were virtually tumbleweeds blowing down the main street! I couldn't wait to get out! It was Saturday afternoon and I struggled to find somewhere to get a coffee... found Cafe Primo in the end (which was empty)
It is very isolated, as country places in SA tend to be... but maybe thats what you are looking for?![Huh?](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/huh.gif)

We live a 30 minute drive from Sheffield now in a village with 4 pubs, a post office, park and a local shop - so I suppose we are used to the country bumpkin life

Drove through there once & stopped at a nice picnic spot - though realised why no-one else was enjoying the scenery when we cracked open the esky for lunch...........flies, flies, bloody millions of them! Very dusty place too. Sorry cant be more helpful, try e-mailing some of the local schools for information if you have kids as that might help you decide on if the area will suit your needs.

I don't think there is anyone out there that lives in Port Pirie!
