Open leg route
1096.9KM / 681.6MI (Est. travel time 12 hours)

Celebrated for its world class seafood, the Eyre Peninsula is also a magnet for snorkellers, anglers, surfers, hikers and kayakers.

Many people come here just to cage dive with great white sharks. Universally known as “Australia’s seafood frontier”, the Peninsula offers a unique combination of sparkling ocean, great produce and a sparsely populated landscape that stretches to the far horizon. Along the way you’ll discover national parks, oyster leases and country pubs. With its well maintained roads, stunning scenery, numerous bays and delicious produce, this part of South Australia is a delight to explore. Just bring an Esky and plenty of ice.

Once a commercial fishing harbour, Port Lincoln is now a magnet for outdoor adventure fanatics from around the planet. No one’s quite sure how it happened, but the combination of sparklingly clean water and great white sharks, Australian sea lions and bottlenose dolphins definitely helped.
