Day 2 - Eyre Peninsula

Tour Itinerary (Adelaide to Eyre Peninsula, 6 Day Tour)

The Eyre Peninsula is one of those great secrets many people have not yet discovered. Teeming with some of Australia's most amazing and outstanding real wildlife experiences, the lack of a major airport and too far to drive for most domestic travellers, this piece of paradise is one that only those who have been, can give that knowing smile of discovery of a very special place indeed.

Our first stop is at Dutchman's Stern Conservation Park where we take the time to walk to the top of the range. Named by Mathew Flinders in 1802 for it's resemblance of a Dutch sailing ship, this spectacular walk is a great way to start the day and gives us our first real look to the West.

Back on the road we pass through Pt Augusta, Iron Knob and onto Kimba (Halfway Across Australia.) for lunch, then to Venus Bay for a beautiful walk along the stunning coastline where we can see dolphins surfing in the waves. After Venus Bay we visit the magnificent Talia Caves and the Lake Newland Sand dunes - these are the biggest sand dunes you will ever ride!

In the afternoon we arrive at our farm stay, Coodlie Park. This working farm has traditional cropping, organic food growing and a project of tree planting on their own land to offset their own carbon emissions. This evening we head out in search of some wildlife. Our hosts Hassie and Jo take us on a unique nocturnal spotlight tour looking for Australia's National Emblems - Kangaroos, Wombats and Emus.
