Whyalla was founded as "Hummocks Hill", and was known by that name until 1916. It is the fourth most populous city in the Australian state of South Australia after Adelaide, Mount Gambier and Gawler and along with Port Pirie and Port Augusta is one of the three towns to make up the Iron Triangle.

What is it like to live in Whyalla?

The people are hospitable and friendly a custom the whole Eyre Peninsula is famous for. Whyalla has a lovely Marina and foreshore. Amazing outback scenery, lots of local parks and now a wetland. I was also quite impressed with its Uni SA campus too.

Is Whyalla worth visiting?

Whyalla has no shortage of coastline but chose a site next to the Lincoln Highway for its Maritime Museum. ... It's also worth visiting the museum, which houses naval and mining artefacts, ship models, shark skeletons and historic photos. After all this talk of the sea, we desperately need to plunge into the ocean.
