sheltered beach and also offers a 1km bush
walk to a well and a 6km hike to the Black
Rocks Lookout.
Take it easy around the 19km mark since the
track is prone to flooding here. Drive straight
through the middle, not along the edges.
The track bends to the left at 21km, entering
Seven Mile Beach.
Be especially careful through the limestone
flat at 27km and watch for the track to
Sensation Beach entering at 29km; turn
left and stay left, following the signs to
Sensation Beach.
After a walk on this lonely beach, backtrack
for 5km and at 41km turn left to Point Sir
Issac. Continue past the Ranger's Hut then
branch left again at 43km to Reef Point
Lookout which will be at 51km.
Backtrack for 8km and, at 59km, turn left
to Point Sir Issac. A 1km track to Mullalong
Lookout and Mullalong Beach enters on the
left at 66km; this is worth the short drive,
which brings you back to the same point
now at 68km.
At 70km, the track forks. It is 1km to Point
Sir Issac.
Return to the fork (72km) and continue along
the coastline. The Pool Campground is at
Venus Bay.

73km followed by gorgeous Phantom Cove
at 75km. The track sweeps inland for a while,
stick to it like glue as there is a sinkhole on
the right followed by Whalers Well, which is
now capped, and then by Burgess Hut built
in the 1880s during a failed attempt to tame
and graze this harsh land.
Veer left at 81km to Morgans Landing and
the campground at the western end of Seven
Mile Beach. If you are caught on an incoming
high tide, this is a good place to wait it out
until you can safely make it back along Seven
Mile Beach.
AT THE TIP
The tip of the Eyre Peninsula is all about the
scenery and wind-ravaged cliffs.
If you are hooked, turn north on the Flinders
Highway for one stunning lookout after another.
Venus Bay is enchanting, as is Baird Bay.
Streaky Bay is the north-west point of the
Eyre, and then comes Ceduna, which is the
end, or the beginning, of your adventure to the
tip of the Eyre. It is an adventure you won’t
soon forget.
