Clements Gap Conservation Park Clements Road, Clements Gap Only 15 minutes north of Port Broughton you can discover the largely undisturbed 11 square kilometres of South Australian remnant bushland. The only remaining building at Clements Gap is the Uniting Church. The church is still used today for monthly services and weddings. The conservation park is home to a variety of plants and is bursting with wildflowers in spring. Visitors can enjoy the photo point poles which have been erected throughout the park, allowing people to take pre-set photographs. Fisherman Bay Fisherman Bay, just down the road from Port Broughton, has two swimming beaches located to the west side of the boat ramp and directly in front of the children’s playground. The beaches are very safe for children when the tide is out. Fisherman Bay has great undercover playgrounds, sandy beaches and lovely grassy areas. Gunner Bill’s Gallery and Craft Railway Terrace, Bute Located in the small farming town of Bute is the beautifullyrestored Gunner Bill’s Gallery and Craft, full of quality arts and craft. Formerly the Bute Police Station, the building was opened in 1911 and consisted of a residence for the police officer and his family, a courthouse, cells and horse stables. Incorporated in the gallery is the historical museum which houses police memorabilia and the history of YP swagmen.

Port Broughton Jetty The Port Broughton jetty is sure to make your fishing trip an enjoyable one with a unique inlet from the upper Spencer Gulf providing some first-class fishing for yellowfin whiting and garfish. Dependent on the tide, the inlet at the foreshore is a very safe spot to swim. However, for a deeper swim you can head to the pontoon at the T-section of the jetty.
