# Adelaide/Port Adelaide, Enfield, Prospect and Outer Harbor

Port Adelaide, Enfield, Prospect and Outer Harbor is the area northwest of Adelaide City, home to Adelaide's port.
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.

## Get in
### By train

Out of the Adelaide Metro train system's four main lines, the line that connects this district is the Outer Harbor Line, which goes up the Le Fevre Peninsula in the north-west of the city via Port Adelaide and Glanville.

The Grange line branches off the Outer Harbor line at Woodville.
