As part of our Eyre Peninsula Transition immersion experience, we had the amazing opportunity to visit the first tuna boat in Port Lincoln — the Tacoma.
Our students stepped back in time to learn about the early days of tuna fishing in the region. We got to tour the entire boat, learn how it worked, and even try pole fishing for tuna — just like the original crew did!
Everyone had a blast trying on the tuna belts, vests, and hats — we really felt like part of the crew. To top it all off, we even got to make our own small resin model of the Tacoma to take home as a keepsake of the day.
A massive thank you to Ross for sharing his time, stories, and passion with us. It was an unforgettable experience, and we truly appreciate the chance to connect with such an important part of Port Lincoln’s history.
Great to see history alive and interactive. Better than just photos and news items. You made your own history. Thanks to the dedicated historians who work so hard to preserve such opportunities.
Good on you Ross, for creating this great opportunity for these young people!

Awesome 👍
Fabulous 😊
A few weeks ago, students from the EP Transition Program travelled to Cummins for an agriculture immersion experience. 🚜🌾
It was a fantastic excursion that highlighted the importance of agriculture and machinery across the Eyre Peninsula. Students learned about the many career opportunities available at Emmetts — from mechanics and sales to servicing equipment.
A big thank you to Jordan, Nick, and Kevin for showing us around and sharing your knowledge! The students especially loved getting to sit in the cab of various machines — and seeing the big header start up was a real highlight!
Thank you for visiting! We hope to see you again soon 🚜💚
