• Eyre Peninsula - 2000 kilometres of dramatic coastline, towering cliffs, deserted sandy bays, vast desert plains, and rugged ranges. Stretching 1000 kilometres from Whyalla in the east, across the Nullarbor Plain to the Western Australian border and 400 kilometres from the Gawler Ranges in the north to Port Lincoln in the south, its wildlife, like its landscape, is unique, ranging from whales to wombats to wedgetail eagles.
