Price, South Australia

Although not right on the coast, Price has a causeway running to a mangrove-fringed tidal creek, Wills Creek, which connects it with the sea (Gulf St Vincent). At the end of the causeway there is a public boat ramp. Once outside the creek, fishing is plentiful.^{[citation needed]}

Wills Creek is a very sheltered anchorage for boats and, in earlier times, it was from here that bagged salt and grain was loaded onto ketches for export. These products are now transported in bulk form by road. A 1911 newspaper reported that most of the ketches visiting Price via Wills Creek had, on at least one visit, suffered the inconvenience of being stuck in the mud of the creek at low tide.^[12]

Price has a temperate semi-arid climate (Köppen: BSk) with insufficient winter rainfall to qualify as a hot-summer mediterranean climate.^[13] On average, the town experiences 59.0 clear days and 59.3 cloudy days per annum. Extreme temperatures ranged from 46.7 °C (116.1 °F) on 14 January 2001 to −2.6 °C (27.3 °F) on 13 June 1972. The wettest recorded day was 18 February 1946 with 161.3 mm (6.35 in) of rainfall.^[14]
