Whyalla Australia

Whyalla is the third most populous city in the Australian state of South Australia after Adelaide and Mount Gambier. It's a seaport situated on the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula and is known as the "Steel City" due to its integrated steelworks and shipbuilding heritage. The industrial and cultural history of Whyalla is accessible to tourists through several museums and public tours. Visitors can view the ex-HMAS Whyalla from the Lincoln Highway and take a guided tour of it through the Whyalla Maritime Museum. The ship is a retired World War II-era corvette and was the first ship built in the city of Whyalla during the war. The Whyalla Maritime Museum features various displays commemorating the town's ship building and mining history, including miniature replicas of various ships and a model railway diorama. The town's development and social history is presented at the volunteer-run Mount Laura Homestead National Trust Museum, which is located near the Westlands shopping centre. Divers can see the aggregation of animals from May through August each year, in water one to six metres deep. The Whyalla Conservation Park provides an example of the natural semi-arid environment accessible via walking trails.
