AT#930 – Travel to the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia

  1. AT#930 - Travel to the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia Chris Christensen 1:11:06

Hear about travel to the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia as the Amateur Traveler talks to James Schomburgk about his adventures in this out of the way destination.

Why should you visit the Eyre Peninsula?

James says, “Because of its remoteness, it’s probably the lowest number of tourists in Australia. And yet it’s listed as one of the biggest hidden gems in the world because of the scenery. The scenery is magical. If you’re looking for classic Australian beaches, pure white sand, stunning water, fantastic cliff scenery, and some of the best surf beaches in the world. The wildlife is certainly what attracts intrepid travelers to go there because it has all the wildlife that people are looking for.”

James recommends a 7-night itinerary for visiting the Eyre Peninsula, which includes a mix of scenic drives, wildlife encounters, beach visits, and unique experiences. Below is the itinerary based on his recommendations:

Day 1: Adelaide to Whyalla

  1. Clare Valley: Take a scenic detour through this famous wine region, known for its Rieslings and boutique wineries.
  • Suggested stop: Pikes Wines for wine tasting and lunch.
  1. Wirrabara:
  • Stonehut Bakery or Julia’s Kitchen at the Old Bakery for snacks or pies.
  • View the silo art in Wirrabara.
  1. Melrose: A picturesque town at the base of Mount Remarkable, perfect for a quick coffee or walk.
  2. Whyalla:
