Yorkey Crossing is a ford in the Australian state of South Australia located at the head of Spencer Gulf in the gazetted locality of Emeroo about 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) north of Port Augusta. As of 2014, it is the site of an unsealed road that serves as a by-pass route around the head of the gulf for 'over dimensional vehicles' (i.e. greater than Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). wide and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). high), which are not permitted to cross the gulf using the Port Augusta Bridge. It is also near the location of the crossing (also known as Yorkey Crossing) for the Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta Railway (now called the Trans-Australian Railway) built after 1911. It is considered to be the most north easterly part of Eyre Peninsula.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
