Eyre Peninsula Holiday & Travel Information
South Australia
The
coastline of the Eyre
Peninsula, carved out
by the full force of
the Southern Ocean is
unique and diverse with
rugged rock transformations,
sheltered bays, towering
cliffs along the Great
Australian Bight, long
sandy beaches and arid
desert. It is often
referred to the peninsula
of parks with nearly
half its area set aside
as reserves, parks and
native bushland.
This region of immense landscapes, and a wildlife haven, stretches 1000 kilometres from the large town of Whyalla to the remote border of Western Australia, taking in the calm waters of the Spencer Gulf and the wild seas of the Great Australian Bight. Fishing and surfing spots here are among the best in the world. Wildlife, wildflowers, coastal scrub and low hills overlook the eastern reaches: in the west a vast, treeless plain and the spectacular sea cliffs of the Nullabor take over.
Travel in the cooler months is recommended to avoid the extreme heat and precautions need to be taken when crossing the Nullabor
