eyre peninsula from adelaide

Point the bonnet north-west from Adelaide, take the A1 to Port Augusta, then swing down the Lincoln Highway to the Eyre Peninsula—Port Lincoln is about 650 km and roughly 7–8 hours of driving.

Prefer wings to wheels? Flights from Adelaide to Port Lincoln or Whyalla are about 50–60 minutes, and hire cars are easy. Classic pit stops include Port Augusta, Whyalla, Cowell and Tumby Bay; fuel and snack wisely unless you fancy a roadside picnic with the crows. Watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk, and enjoy coastal views so good you’ll forget the podcast you were pretending to follow.
