Whyalla Sights
At sunrise I took some photos from the campground out over the
water, it was very pretty with lovely subtle bands of colours.
This morning we drove into Whyalla and had
hot showers. Next up we went to the Whyalla Visitor Information Centre for a
tour of OneSteel Steelworks.
This tour
went all around the steelworks and the tour guide explained how various
procedures were completed.
Unfortunately, we did not get to see any molten metal, however we did
see red-hot “coke” coming out of the even.
Our second tour of the day was of HMAS Whyalla.
This ship is completely out of water and 2km
from the sea. It was originally
constructed in Whyalla to serve as a mine-sweeper during WW2 and has been
restored to this condition. We then went
to the Flinders and Freycinet Lookout, followed by a picnic lunch at Hummock
Hill Lookout.
In the afternoon, we visited
Point Lowly and the lighthouse and coastline there, before returning to relax
at Fitzgerald Bay.
