Out and About

HMAS Whyalla - Of all the ships built in Whyalla, the 650 tonne corvette HMAS Whyalla, the first ship completed at the shipyard, has become the most famous. It now stands like some kind of strange vessel which has lost its way glaring down over the Lincoln Highway at the northern entrance to the city. Whyalla Maritime Museum - This is an ideal starting point for any visit to Whyalla. The Whyalla Maritime Museum, a really excellent and comprehensive display, combines a history of local shipping (through models, photographs and audio visual displays) with a guided tour of the HMAS Whyalla and a huge model railway display. The museum and Tourist Centre are open from 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m. every day (except Tuesday) with tours of the ship being held on the hour every hour between 11.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. Hummock Hill - To get some overall perspective of the city a visit to Hummock Hill is a necessity. Located at the eastern end of the city it looks over the BHP’s Pellet Plant to the north, across the marina to the east, down the coast to the south and across the city centre to the west. It was used as an observation post during World War II and the gun emplacements are still standing. Mt Laura Homestead Museum - Like all the National Trust Museums on Eyre Peninsula, the Mount Laura Homestead has been expanded to include a restored cottage which dates from 1914, and an extensive display of old engines. Outside is Whyalla’s original wood and corrugated iron lockup (it must have been absolutely deadly in summer) which is the only known example of a portable gaol in South Australia. Near the homestead is an engine which was used to haul iron ore from Iron Knob to Whyalla more than eighty years ago. Whyalla Fauna and Reptile Park - Visitors can ’see and enjoy free ranging kangaroos and emus, Australia’s deadliest snakes, there is walk through aviary, a children’s section, wombats, dingoes, bushwalk and more’. Cuttlefish and Whyalla - Between May and August, the breeding season for the Australian giant cuttlefish (sepia apama), Whyalla attracts people from all over the world. The concentration of these unique creatures in the waters around Whyalla is quite remarkable. One scientist, Dr Mark Norman from the University of Melbourne, has described it as "the largest aggregation of Giant Cuttlefish in the world". There are opportunities to dive and be surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of these ’chameleons of the sea’. On every cuttlefish dive visitors are assured of unlimited encounters as these strange creatures hover and perform one of the most colourful and beautiful spawning dances in the marine world. This is a memorable marine gatherings and easy, boat or shore, shallow dive or snorkels - a must for every diver to experience at least once in their life.
