Eyre Peninsula Attractions

 
Half way along the south coast of Australia the Eyre Peninsula projects like a broad triangular spur into the Southern Ocean, separating the Great Australian Bight to the west from Spencer Gulf to the east. At the corners of the triangle are Ceduna in the west, Port Lincoln in the south and Whyalla and Port Augusta in the east. The northern boundary of the peninsula is formed by the Gawler Ranges in the arid north. The east coast, on Spencer Gulf, has safe and sheltered beaches and good fishing waters. The peninsula is named after the explorer John Edward Eyre, who in 1840-1, starting from Adelaide, surveyed the coastal regions on the Great Australian Bight.
