Regional Highlights

  • Attractions:
    South east of the Eyre Peninsula is Yorke Peninsula. The Yorke Peninsula has variety of interesting places to visit. The peninsula itself is surrounded by water so diving, fishing and swimming are popular activities. Because of the lack of roads in the early days of settlement there are also a great many ports around the coast line so sailing is also a popular option for travellers. The peninsula itself is very much a mining/farming region, so if you have any interest in the history or current practices of these fields the region might be worth a visit. One of the best aspects of this region is that it is very much secluded from much of the rest of the mainland, yet is still very close to Adelaide.
