Protected by the Gawler Ranges from the harsh southern outback, the Eyre Peninsula is haven for wildlife and wildflowers. Imposing coastal scenery consists of golden beaches and rugged cliffs, where surfing and beach fishing are found in equal measure. On the western shore Baird Bay is famed for dolphin and sea lion, and swimming with these enchanting creatures constitutes the highlight of many visits. To the north lie the impressive and unspoilt Gawler Ranges. A dramatic collection of unusual rock formations, this otherworldly landscape hosts wildlife of all shapes and sizes, including kangaroo, wombat and more than 140 bird species, while every spring the surrounding savannah is transformed into a dazzling carpet of wildflowers.
