Azure waters at Beachport, a small village on the Limestone Coast with the second longest jetty in South Australia. The jetty was completed in 1882 (1220 metres) and is currently 772 metres long. The town was first settled as a whaling station in the 1830s but today it provides a safe harbour for crayfishing boats and trawlers.


Limestone cliffs sculpted by winds and waves at Cape Buffon.  From as far back as 10 000 years, Aboriginal members of the Boandik group lived along this coast in summer and we discovered one of their shell middens on a walk.

Giants across the landscape dominating the Woakwine Range skyline near Millicent. These wind farms form the largest wind-farm development in the Southern Hemisphere and consist of 135 wind turbines in the Canunda and near Lake Bonney. They will generate one eighth of South Australia's energy needs when fully operational.
