Eyre Peninsula
On air Feb 16

From Coffin Bay we embark on a power packed journey with a convoy of caravans, camper trailers and motor homes in search of what this fantastic Peninsula has to offer.

We leave nothing unturned to bring you the best of the best.

Accommodation from Caravan Parks, Motels and hotels.

Restaurants, cafes and bars.

From dramatic and breathtaking views, untouched wilderness and worn parths.

Oceans and mountains, wildlife and even a touch of romance!

Cummings Monument Lookout affords some spectacular and dramatic views. The wonder of nature at its very best.

At the heart of the Erye Peninsula is Lock, a proud farming community and a great place to base yourself for exploring the Peninsula. With quite a lot of history to discover at the Heritage Museum.

And for Paul it brings back precious childhood memories.

Brought to you by:

 

Locks Well is a great place to break up your journey, with fabulous lookouts, fantasic salmon fishing and breathtaking views. With a fantastic staircase down to the beach.

A little romance is discovered in the seaside village of Elliston.

With vast open spaces and a special photo opportunity.

For the blokes out there who love their sheds, we have found the ultimate and will have you reaching for the tools to renovate your own backyard shed!

Off to Whyalla, home to 22,000 people and blessed with more than 300 days of sunshine.

An incredible phenomenen occurs here, with the spawning of the luminescent cuttlefish.

Divers from Australia and around the world visit Whyally to witness the specatacle.

And a long way from the Murray river is a new home for the Murray Cod.
