Whyalla is located 396km north-west of Adelaide and is the largest city in the Upper Spencer Gulf region. The town was founded in 1906 and was originally named Hummock Hill, and it was not until 1914 the town was renamed as Whyalla and was established as a port to ship iron. For a long time Whyalla was a steel and shipbuilding hub and is now experiencing a tourism renaissance based on its proud industrial history and natural phenomena, including the annual spawning of giant, luminescent cuttlefish each winter.Those visiting Whyalla can find short term parking at Weerona Bay Football & Sports Club, Stuart Park, Cartledge Ave for $10 per vehicle per night.
