About
About Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide is a port-side region of Adelaide, approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northwest of the Adelaide CBD. It is also the namesake of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield council, a suburb, a federal and state electoral division and is the main port for the city of Adelaide.
Similar to Victor Harbor, many travellers end up wondering why the spelling of Outer Harbor is spelled Outer Harbor and not Outer Harbour unlike the rest of the Commonwealth. And just like any other harbor in South Australia, it is because of the 1913 Harbors Act, and the -or spelling was also used in the Harbors and Navigation Act 1993 and the spelling of harbor is now somewhat standard in South Australia, at least in state government.
