Whale Watching

The Eyre Peninsula is the region extending from the Nullarbor Plains in the west to the 'India' shaped promontory formed between the towns of Port Augusta, Port Lincoln and Ceduna. The area is around 400 miles from Adelaide and is popular for fishing, its beaches, whale watching (between June and October) and as a staging post for those wishing to cross into Western Australia. .

Excellent Fishing

The west coast of the Eyre Peninsula can be explored by the Lincoln Highway. There are many towns and lookouts to stop at including Whyalla  which offers tours of a working steel plant and Cowell which is famed for its opals and white sand. As a rule the Spencer Gulf offers excellent fishing.

Great Australian Bight

Traveling north from Port Lincoln up the Flinders Highway with the magnificent Great Australian Bight to your left. Again there is much to see and do on the way. Coffin Bay is a centre for oyster farming, Eliston is renown for surfing and fishing and Ceduna is a base for whale spotting. From Ceduna you head west across Yalata Land and then the Nullarbor Plains which stretch to the Western Australia border.

Eyre peninsula is a ribbon 20Km long by 2km wide which stretches along the Riddoch Highway and includes around 20 wineries interspersed on either side of the road. This tiny area of around 40 square kilometres is responsible for some of the best wine you will find, anywhere.
