Port Lincoln Travel Guide

 balhannah Says:  OK, We have been fishing, caught Fish and now have to clean them at the "Cleaning Station."Pelicans are very much aware that people coming here with a bucket or esky, will most probably have Fish, so in no time they are flying in and inviting their Pelican friends as... 

 pedroswift Says:  What better place to dine than the hotel in which you are staying.One look at the indoor-outdoor dining area and the busy bar area and I was sold. No driving home after a bottle of wine….. plus the promise of good food. Yes!As one would expect from a restaurant in Port... 

 balhannah Says:  Before we entered Whalers way, we had to sign an indemnity form incase anybody hurt themselves.This could be quite easy to do here, as some of the tracks were terrible [see photos].Make sure when you are walking that your looking at where you are placing your feet, as you... 

 balhannah Says:  I classify this as a tourist trap as unless you have a 4WD vehicle, there probably are only a couple of roads we could drive on.We didn't know this before hand otherwise, we would not have come.Admission to the park was $10, which we paid at the self-registration booth. We... 

 balhannah Says:  One of the drives we could do was to a beach area where picnic tables were and Toilets. It was from here, you could walk to the top of Stamford hill where Flinders monument was located. At the top is a Monument commemorating Flinders voyage of discovery. From the top are... 

 balhannah Says:  It always amazes me that plants can grow in such harsh conditions such as Whalers way.Here they have to contend with growing in rock, salt spray and more, and still the natives tend to flourish.One Australian native that does very welll, is the pretty native fuschia know as... 

 balhannah Says:  Redbanks, and as the name says, the colour of the cliffs is a pretty red. In this location there is beach where you can go swimming. There are quite a few sandhills for some fun and I enjoyed walking around this area, I could even see the wind farm in the distance! 

 balhannah Says:  A little bit of a disappointment for us, only because we had been told the waves really pound into this small crevasse by people that had been here. Would you believe it was calm!!The Crevasse was named after a local pioneer family who settled in the area in 1889.I had... 

 balhannah Says:  Cape Carnot has two spectacular headlands and is the most south-westerly tip of Eyre Peninsula.This is where you come to see the "washing machine" in action! This section of the coastline is a dangerous one, subject to freak waves and loss of lives. There are notices giving... 

 balhannah Says:  Another beautiful bay, this time with cliffs 122 metres high.This Bay is where you may see Dolphins, and in Whale season, passing Whales.It is named after the Blue Whale, the largest mammal on earth when fully grown, weighing 150 tons and is 30 metres in length. Blue whales... 

 balhannah Says:  Our next stop is at Cape Wiles, where explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802, named the Cape after his Botanist "James Wiles."Cape Wiles is scenic. The Southern ocean is angry here, crashing into the 100metre high cliff face and around the rocky islands.These islands have been... 

 balhannah Says:  Here I was at another cliff top, with another story to tell. This one is about a toothed Whale who usually was swimming happily in the deep water off the coast. For some reason, this Whale decided to come into Carlsons Cove, and area which has 106 metre high cliffs of... 

 balhannah Says:  Standing on top of sheer cliffs, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the Whales who were forced into here when being chased by the old sailing Ships . For the Whale, there was no escape.61 metre high cliffs, hardly room for a Whale to turn around in to try and swim to safety,... 

 iandsmith Says:  For the western part of the National Park you need a four wheel drive. If you do, you'd want to allow some serious time to take the place in as it's about 40 kilometres to get to Point Sir Isaac. There are camping sites at six locations in total though only one is two wheel...
