    Perfect spot for freecamping. $10 a night, take a pen with you to fill in details,it's a $174 fine not to,so do the right thing.... Oh,and had a pod of dolphins swim right by us this morning, totally worth the visit.

    Interesting part of local history's oddities with the lighthouse heightening in 1909, it's decommissioning by AMSA in 1993 and the takeover by Whyalla council in 1995.
