Mt Dutton Bay Woolshed - Situated on the southern coastal tip of South Australia’s untouched ‘Eyre Peninsula’ where the coast showcases the ‘sweat shed’ , which originally used to hold up to 1200 sheep in 1875, has been fully restored and renovated in 1998 for ‘bunk house’ hostel accommodation Timber flooring throughout, white rendered restored stone walls and ‘history’ that speaks for itself... the 'Woolshed Hostel' now offers clean, comfortable but unique, rustic true Australian style accommodation on absolute seafront with adjoining jetty and boat ramp.   More information

The peninsula has a diverse coastal landscape with windswept limestone and sandstone cliffs, sheltered bays and vegetated sand dunes which provide breeding areas for native birdlife. National parks such as at Coffin Bay, provide the best access to these untouched wilderness areas where you can enjoy camping, fishing, boating and swimming. You need to be relatively self sufficient here so tours are a great alternative and save you the bother of lugging tonnes of gear with you. 

There are many museums and historic points of interest at places such as Streaky Bay, Whyalla, Darkes Peak and Caralu Bluff which offers one of the best views over the Eyre Peninsula. Murphy's Haystacks can be viewed underfoot with walkways erected between the rocky granite outcrops and the Sir Joseph Banks group of Islands which is a Marine Conservation Park is another famous must see. A breeding ground for Cape Barren Geese and a playground for sealions and dolphins, you can take a chartered boat to get the best from a day trip around the islands or you could hire your own.

For the insanely adventurous you can embark on a four day cage diving expedition from Port Lincoln (yes, you in a cage and shark teeth next to your ear). Truly nothing more than a coincidence, the majority of this region borders the coastal area of the Great Australian Bight!
