Whyalla

Whyalla is best known within South Australia for its steel industry, centred on the Whyalla Steelworks. On the western shore of Spencer Gulf, the city developed as a port and industrial centre, with iron ore from the nearby Middleback Range underpinning its identity. Its maritime story is preserved at the Whyalla Maritime Museum, home to HMAS Whyalla, a World War II-era corvette built in the city. Waters near Point Lowly are also associated with the seasonal aggregation of Australian giant cuttlefish, one of the region’s notable marine events.
