Whyalla

Whyalla, also known as the "Steel City" due to its involvement in steelworks and shipbuilding, is the largest city on the Eyre Peninsula.

Whyalla is a juxtaposing wonderland of industrial and natural landscapes. With plenty of events happening all year round, a fishing culture that would rival many around the world and an abundant history that paves the way for many interesting tours and museums, Whyalla is a wholesome Eyre Peninsula experience.

Dive with the rare Australian giant cuttlefish and witness these chameleons of the sea perform their colourful mating rituals. You can also get up close and personal with other unique marine life when you go stand-up paddle-boarding with the local pods of dolphins on a tour. Grasp the Australian navy's involvement with World War II when you board the HMAS Whyalla and deepen your understanding of the local wildlife at the Whyalla Maritime Museum. Stroll down to the city's foreshore with its extensive lawns, large shaded playground, marina and safe swimming enclosure.
