Whyalla
might have been built by heavy industry, but increasing volumes of tourists
are discovering there is a new and fascinating side to the city at the head
of the Eyre Peninsula. This gentler side of Whyalla includes an absorbing
wildlife and reptile sanctuary, a safe swimming beach, rewarding fishing,
breezes tailored for recreational sailing and wind-surfing, gardens visitors
share with free-ranging native animals and a magnificent climate to complement
outdoor activities.
The city also boasts the Whyalla Maritime Museum, one of the most innovating
and exciting of its kind in the land. Centrepiece is the 650-tonne corvette,
The Whyalla. Built in the local shipyard, The Whyalla is the largest, permanently
land-locked ship in Australia. The well equipped foreshore park is picnic
perfect.
