We did a quick one night stop on our way to Flinders Ranges at Whyalla. It is a very industrial town being the base for OneSteel. The steel operation is located on the foreshore area, the steel is taken straight from the factory and onto the jetty to be shipped. We took the tourist drive around the foreshore and up to Hummock Hill. On top of Hummock Hill was an old military gun post. During WWII soldiers guarded the precious foreshore trade in threat of bombings from the Japanese.
Looking forward to our next few days in Flinders Ranges.
