Whyalla is the third most populous city in the
Australian state of South Australia after Adelaide
and Mount Gambier. At June 2015 Whyalla had an
estimated urban population of 22,654. Whyalla is a
seaport located on the east coast of the Eyre
Peninsula. The town is known as the "Steel City"
due to its integrated steelworks and shipbuilding
heritage.
Whyalla's primary appeal lies in the fishing
available in the Spencer Gulf; the enduring
interest in the steel industry which is now over 100
years old; and the interesting museums and
lookouts in the local area.
Whyalla is located on the eastern coast of the Eyre
Peninsula 75 km south of Port Augusta and 382 km
north of Adelaide.
