Point Turton is a town on the York Peninsula in South Australia, well known for its newly opened pub and fishing spot. It is regularlly featured on fishing shows and one permanent family had created a soap opera around the town featuring some of the residents in 2005, which still runs now, but is not public.
[edit] History
Point Turton was named after a double wedding between two parties. The jetty was built in 1876, used to pick up imports of barley, but it now is just a jetty that deals with salmon and prawn intake. Quite recently back in 2007, a storm broke through but did not do any damage.
