-
Cape Wiles Lookout -
Named by Matthew Flinders on 19th February 1802 after the botanist James Wiles who sailed with Flinders, Cape Wiles is a 100 metre high cliff face above the swirling sea, with pillars of rock and an island offering continuing resistance to the Southern Ocean.
-
Theakstones Crevasse -
Named by Frank J Mart in the 1930s after a local pioneer family who settled in the area in 1889, this fissure in the rock face almost seems man made. Formed over millions of years along a fault line, the crack is deceptively deep. Standing at the lookout above the crevasse, it appears to be little more than a few metres deep, but venture down the path which circles the head of the cerevasse and peer into its depths from that vantage point, and it is quite believable that this narrow gully is in fact around 13 metres deep with 9 metre high walls.
-
Boston Bay winery -
At Boston Bay Wines our mission as a family-owned business is dedicated to the production of premium red and white wines of eminent quality. We are committed to the celebration of Eyre Peninsula's finest seafood harvest and strive to offer flavour-filled, unpretentious food, graciously served in the spirit of familial love and care for our guests.
-
Winters Hill Lookout -
Arguably one of the best views you'll get of Port Lincoln. From Winter Hill, a short 5 minute drive from the CBD, you will be greeted with breathtaking views of the city, bay, Boston Island and on clear days the various islands off shore. You can look over the back towards Coffin Bay or down to the south towards Whalers Way.
