South Australia (Eyre Peninsula)
Tumby Bay
Once a thriving port supplying Adelaide with wool and grain, Tumby Bay today plays host not to the old sailing ketches but modern pleasure craft. The Island Lookout rewards visitors with a fine panorama of town and offshore islands.
Attractions
  • SIR JOSEPH BANKS GROUP OF ISLANDS This is a marine wonderland named after that famous British botanist who sailed with Captain Cook. Farms were set up on some islands. Others remain important breeding grounds for Cape Barren Geese and the nature lover can spot sea lions, cormorants and terns darting after the fish which fill the waters.
  • TUMBY BAY NATIONAL TRUST MUSEUM
Originally a three roomed wooden schoolhouse, today it preserves local history.
