Iron Knob, located 68 kilometers southwest of Port Augusta, is renowned as the birthplace of Australia's steel industry. Established in 1915, the town grew around rich iron ore deposits, with mining commencing in 1900. The community offers a nine-hole golf course, lawn bowls, and shaded parks with restroom facilities. The Iron Knob Community Tourist Centre, a hub for visitors, features a mining museum with old mining equipment and mineral specimens. Guided mine tours provide insights into the area's mining history and offer panoramic views of the Iron Monarch pit. Enclosed footwear is essential for tour participants.
