It is surrounded by the pristine waters of the southern peninsula and the Spencer Gulf, and this region produces an incredible selection of premium seafood. 4. Discover Silo Art On our road trip around the Eyre Peninsula, we saw some great silo art. The Cowell silos were painted by artist NITSUA and the mural celebrates local legend Lionel Deer, pictured with his camel Diamantina. In Tumby Bay, the Viterra silos were painted by Argentinian street artist Martin Ron, and the mural captures the carefree spirit of summer, depicting two local boys jumping from the iconic Tumby Bay Jetty. The Kimba Silos were transformed by artist Cam Scale in 2017, and the mural depicts a young girl standing in a golden wheat field at sunset. 5. See Natural Attractions The Eyre Peninsula is home to some truly unique landscapes and rock formations. Murphy’s Haystacks are located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Streaky Bay. These striking pink granite inselbergs have been shaped by wind and time over thousands of years. Pildappa Rock is a significant, 1,500-million-year-old pink granite inselberg, located 15 kilometres northeast of Minnipa. Pildappa Rock is known for its impressive wave formations that are similar to Western Australia’s Wave Rock. 6. Explore Stunning Beaches The Eyre Peninsula is home to some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in Australia, where endless stretches of white sand meet crystal-clear turquoise waters. Perlubie Beach, just north of Streaky Bay, is a long, sweeping stretch of white sand with crystal-clear blue water. Greenly Beach has striking granite rocks, golden sand and lovely aqua water, and is a popular spot for swimming, surfing, camping and exploring the Greenly Beach Rockpools. 7.

To learn more about Coffin Bay Oysters, you can join a guided tour, where you will learn how oysters are cultivated from seed to harvest. 8.

Tumby Bay has a world-renowned Street Art Trail that transforms this charming coastal town into an open-air gallery. In Cleve, there are two fantastic sculptures created by Peter Crosby. Bonney the Clydesdale and a pair of kangaroos were created from old farm machinery and metal tools. The town of Cummins has a fantastic mosaic trail. As we wandered around town, we saw beautifully crafted mosaic artworks on footpaths, walls, and public spaces. In Wudinna, the Australian Farmer Statue, is a stunning granite sculpture stands 8 metres high, and weighs approximately 70 tonnes and was created by Marijan Bekic. 9.
